Abstract
This chapter highlights international health informatics initiatives, international organizations involved in these initiatives, and how health practitioners such as nurses are involved in the activities of these organizations. There are numerous international health informatics–related activities that have been initiated across the different regions of the world. In addition academic societies within these regions are pursuing health informatics theory and practice developments. These international health informatics initiatives, along with associated academic organizations, are introduced here with brief histories and the key activities of each region. There are also several international organizations involved in the development of health informatics, such as the World Health Organization, the International Medical Informatics Association, the International Organization for Standardization, the International Council of Nurses, the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organisation, and Health Level Seven. These organizations are introduced with a short description of health practitioners' contributions to their activities. Finally, global issues in health informatics initiatives are also described.
Introduction
In many parts of the world healthcare is one of the largest sectors of the economy. As a result, health spending plays a major role in economic policy throughout the world with growing pressure on the healthcare industry to streamline costs, gain efficiency, and become more innovative in improving and maintaining the health of the population. Today the health industry around the world is looking for better ways of providing healthcare and improved health for all. The application of health information technology (health IT), called information and communication technology or ICT in international settings, to healthcare is seen as key to realizing this aim. The World Health Organization (WHO) uses ehealth as an umbrella term to cover all aspects of the use of ICT in healthcare. While the terminology differs—from health IT to ICT to ehealth—the goal of using technology to effectively and efficiently improve the health of individuals, families, and communities remains the same. An important differenc ...

This presentation was made by Ayden TAJAHMADY, France, at the 5th Meeting of the joint OECD DELSA/GOV Network on Fiscal Sustainability of Health Systems held on 4-5 February 2016 at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris.
Italy is an intriguing case study of how value-based healthcare, which looks at health outcomes of treatment relative to cost, can evolve. The country offers an interesting dichotomy between a pioneering approach to financing innovative treatments on the one hand, and a more complex and arguably less sophisticated institutional structure and measures for assessing healthcare outcomes on the other.

International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence in Software Testing
Marcella Marletta - EU HTA Cooperation Answering National Needs
1. Dr. Marcella Marletta
Director General for medical devices and
pharmaceutical services
Ministry of health
Paris, October 29, 2015
2. Key points
Governance of medical devices
expenditures: what we have learnt
The new Italian HTA organization and the
relationship with the HTA Network and
EUnetHTA
Conclusions
5. Governance of medical devices
expenditures (1/3)
In Italy, the medical device sector represents 0,7%
of GDP and it is a relevant expenditure in the
public health.
In this framework for several years, the Ministry of
Health has been conducting a regulatory pathway
aimed at delivering timely verification tools for
monitoring and control of expenditure.
6. Governance of medical devices
expenditures (2/3)
The Financial Law 2003 established the Committee for
Medical Devices (CUD) with the following task:
create a national database
design a national classification of medical devices
(CND) in order to establish reference prices for
medical devices
7. Governance of medical devices
expenditures (3/3)
The 2006 Financial Law
defines the procedure for manufacturers to register medical devices
into the national database
establishes procedures for the National Health System to communicate
medical devices consumptions
The 2007 Financial Law
empowers the CUD to elaborate a list of MDs whose expenditure
represents more than 50% of the global expenditure for MDs;
based on this list, the Ministry of health is set in charge of defining
NHS contracts
the CUD was empowered to set up studies of appropriateness of use of
specific MD categories, as well in terms of cost-comparison vs.
adequate alternatives. The results of these studies were to be published
in the Ministry of health website
8. Reference prices Ministerial
decrees
D.M. 11/10/2007
D.M. 25/01/2008
D.M. 15/04/2008
D.M. 17/02/2009
They establish reference prices to be used by the NHS as
baseline of call for tender for procurement of defined
categories of medical devices
9. A lesson learnt…
Reference prices
are difficult to determine, if we take the several
variables (training, maintainance, timeframe of
payment, etc.) into consideration
become obsolete soon
do not allow to discriminate between high and low
quality medical devices
do not support innovation
10.
11. THE TARGET
To provide the tools for
monitoring and governing of the
public expenditure on medical
devices
THE FRAMEWORK
The medical device sector
represents 0,7% of italian
GDP
THE TOOLS
•Repertory on Medical Devices
•Information Flow on consumption
of medical devices which are
directly purchased by NHS
•Income Statement
THE RESULTS ACHIEVED
At the moment ltaly, is one of the few Countries which can count on structured
information about procurements and expenditure for medical devices used by the NHS
A useful tool has been set up
12.
13. Going towards a national HTA
programme
The National Health Plan (PSN) 2006-2008 recognizes
the value of HTA for medical devices
In 2009 a Technical committee for the governance of
medical devices expenditures was established. The
Committee foresees the participation of
representatives of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry
of Economic Development and of the stakeholders in
order to
elaborate proposals to overtake reference prices
present medium and long-term solutions such as a
procurement observatory and implementation of HTA
14. In 2009 the first HTA and HS reports
are published in the MoH website
HTA reports are elaborated by AGENAS
They are the results of the work of different actors
The primary aim is to provide NHS with solid
evidences for an appropriate resources allocation
19. In 2013 in Europe…
The HTA Network is established
20. …while in Italy
Health Pact (Patto per la salute) 2014-2016
Article 26 foresees the establishment of an
institutional model of HTA for medical devices in
order to implement article 15 of Directive 2011/24/EU
and to foster the use of cost-effective medical devices
foresees the establishment of «Cabina di Regia» (a
control room) a sort of national Steering Committee
21. Ministerial Decree March 12, 2015
The Cabina di Regia is established at the Ministry of Health
It is composed of:
Director General of medical devices and pharmaceutical
services with the role of Chair
Director General of health planning
Director General of digital development, health IT systems
and statistics
1 representative of the Agency for the relationships State-
Regions (AGENAS)
1 representative of the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA)
8 representatives from Regions
Secretariat
22. The Cabina di Regia tasks
The Ministry of health plays a "strategic" role at central level
for medical devices governance in:
managing relationships with stakeholders both at European
and at national level, with associations representing patients,
citizens, manufacturers and clinicians
defining a uniform methodology
defining priorities
evaluating the evidence gathered to formulate policies,
guidelines, recommendations on medical devices
monitoring the effects of recommendations implementation,
using tools developed in recent years such as the flow of
medical devices procurements at local level
23.
24. The Innovation Working Group
An informal technical group has been established
It is composed of stakeholders (representatives of
regions, universities and research centers, scientific
and patient associations as well as representatives of
manufacturers)
The Innovation Working Group has an advisory role
and participates in the preliminary phases of the
discussion, supporting the definition of
methodological and procedural guidelines and, when
the system will be fully operational, taking part in the
appraisal phase or elaboration of recommendations.
25. The National HTA Programme
The Cabina di Regia and the Innovation
Working Group have the role of setting the
strategic-political orientation of national
HTA and of supporting the National HTA
Programme through concrete proposals, on
the basis of skills, knowledge and experience
of its members respectively.
26. 2016 Financial Law - Article 31
The Cabina di regia will:
a) define priorities for multi-dimensional medical devices assessment based on
relevance of health problem as well as safety, effectiveness, economic and
organizational impact of medical devices, in line with European guidelines
(EUnetHTA);
b) promote and coordinate the activities of multidimensional assessment
performed by Age.Na.S.
c) validate methodological criteria to be used for the production of
multidimensional reports in the National Programme of HTA
d) manage publication, dissemination and evaluation of impacts at national level
of outcomes referred to in point b) according to validated methods referred to in
point c) in order to promote their use by the regions and health agencies to inform
decisions on the adoption and introduction of medical devices and the
divestment.
27. Conclusions
In Italy the governance of medical devices has been so
far a long and a tortuous pathway.
A new organization providing the Ministry of health
with a central and strategic role has been established.
In this framework the relationship of the Cabina di
Regia with the HTA Network and EUnetHTA will be
crucial.
The goal is to have sustainable national health systems
within Europe.
