Report of a Pilot Project: Rapid Cost Analyses of Selected Potential High-Impact Intervention Reports
Unfortunately the US government has discontinued the Healthcare Horizon Scanning System. It was a framework to detect innovations before entering into the market. One of the last reports was on cost impact of these technologies:
We completed 53 rapid cost analyses on 55 topics over a period of 4 months from July through November 2014. The topics consisted of selected Potential High Impact ntervention reports published in 2013 and 2014. These 55 topics had a designation of oderate or high potential for high impact in those reports. To estimate potential costs of these new and emerging interventions, we sought to identify data on the following: revalence of the disease or condition targeted by each intervention; actual or projected doption of the new intervention; costs of the intervention; costs of a similar intervention; and costs of an alternative intervention used for the disease or conditionIt seems that something similar is being proposed in Europe. Let's wait and see. Meanwhile check the canadians.
