High-cost, innovative pharmaceuticals are one serious challenge for health care systems today. At a panel that explored how this might be addressed in Asia, Adrian identified the issues and discussed the potential role of managed entry agreements (MEAs) and performance-based risk-sharing arrangements (PBRSAs). In essence, these measures allow a new medicine to be marketed while additional data about its use in actual clinical practice are being collected. Implementing MEAs or PBSRAs can be difficult, he notes. Crucial to success are assessing local value and ensuring that measures are based on formal written agreements that clealry set out expectations and responsibilities for all stakeholders.
Health technology assessment (HTA) is familiar as technique for gauging the value of specific medical technologies or approaches to care. As Adrian Towse points out, however, HTA has a much broader, ‘macro’ role in contributing to the efficiency of health care systems and supporting universal health coverage. This is particularly crucial in the face of increasing demands and limited budgets.

What’s Next in US Payor Communications: The Impact of FDA's Proposed Guidance...Nathan White, CPC
The recent enactment of the 21st Century Cures Act has profound immediate and long-term implications for development and communication of HEOR/RWE in the US, particularly in relation to communications with payors about healthcare economic information (HCEI). In January, the FDA released draft guidance for public comment to outline its thinking around communication to payors of HCEI, but there are still unanswered questions to be addressed in the final guidance. Industry will need to quickly establish new policies and procedures to maintain compliance with the new regulations, especially in relation to OPDP submission requirements – a steep transition from a space that has largely been unregulated.

Get Your Development Program Started on the Right FootBrook White, PMP
You think you have a potential pharmaceutical or biotechnology product based on animal or in vitro data—what is the next step? Two documents you need at an early stage are the Target Product Profile (TPP) which defines expectations for your potential medicine and an Integrated Product Development Plan (IPDP) which describes the activities required through approval of your marketing application.
Placing the Evolution of HTA In Emerging Markets in Context of Health System ...Office of Health Economics
These slides were presented by Professor Adrian Towse at the 9th World Congress of the International Health Economics Association in July 2013. The presentation examined how the development of health care systems affect the evolution of the use of health technology assessment. Three countries provide case studies: Brazil, China and Taiwan.
Presented by Bill Dempster and Gerry Jeffcott of 360 Public Affairs.
The presentation covers the following topics:
- An overview of Canada’s health technology assessment (HTA) system, including the national and provincial processes, which evaluate individual medications or therapeutic classes to inform funding decisions by governments and private payers
- How these systems have evolved to date to include patients’ experiences
- Attendees will also explore, together, how the HTA system could be improved to become more patient-centered in order to better meet the needs, expectations and values of patients, looking at a number of key questions, including:
- How and at what stage should patients be involved in HTA processes?
- What are the criteria for successful involvement of patients in HTA processes?
- How should patients’ perspectives be evaluated and factored into the formulary recommendations and, ultimately, coverage decisions?
- What are some of the current obstacles/barriers for successful patient involvement and what are the strategies/approaches to address them?

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Ensuring Values-based Assessments for Innovative Therapies: Brent Fraser (CADTH)
1. About CADTH
• Private, not-for-profit corporation. Funded by Health
Canada, Provinces and Territories.
• Conducts health technology assessments (HTA) on drugs
and medical devices.
• 190 employees, Ottawa and Toronto offices. Advisory and
expert committees, numerous contractors.
• Active involvement in the global HTA community.
2. Our Mandate
• Provide decision-makers with objective evidence about the
clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of health
technologies.
• Produce advice, recommendations, and tools that promote
the optimal use of health technologies.
• Build capacity for HTA in Canada.
3. HTA - Is it All About the QALY?
• Short answer is “no”
• It is an important consideration in making
recommendations as implementing funding decisions
• Help inform decisions for comparable therapies
• Do we need to include a more societal perspective in these
analyses? If so, how?
3
4. Value Based Frameworks
• A number of frameworks have been developed to help
address “value” from a number of different perspectives
e.g., ASCO, ESMO, National Comprehensive Cancer
Network, Drug Abacus, Institute for Clinical and Economic
Review
• The potential benefit of the frameworks is the ability to
compare the value of one drug versus another, however, it
is unclear if there is sufficient rigour in the frameworks to
make these comparisons
• Is driver to develop these frameworks the price of drugs?

5. Adaptive Licensing*
• Prospectively planned, flexible approach to regulation of
drugs and biologics
• Iterative phases of evidence gathering to reduce
uncertainties followed by regulatory evaluation and license
adaptation
• Attempts to balance access with need to assess information
• Assumes early approval and coverage
