Mission & Goals
Whereas many countries and organisations conduct independent horizon scanning activities, the costs, time, and resource allocations necessary to do so may prove prohibitive, even though the benefits may be far reaching. In this regard, the IHSI Joint Horizon Scanning Database was developed to address the issues countries face and specifically aims to: - Promote fair and transparent pharmaceutical prices. - Use data to drive price reduction. - Mitigate the impact of disruptive innovation. - Support effective budgetary policy. - Support HTA and regulatory preparation.
EU Legislative Interests
Implementation of HTA such as HTA Regulation and MDR/IVD regulations.
