Evaluation Programme • Stakeholders • SMC advice
Programme Delivery • Structure • Project Team • Management Group • Reference Group • SMC Executive Team • Timescale • 2 year programme (April 06 - March 08)
Stakeholders – methods 1Impact on ADTCs role and function • 2000 • 2002 • 2003/4 • 2006/7 Review of Public information • Workshop June 2007 ADTCs n~ 60 + +
Stakeholders – methods 2Engagement with stakeholders Public Partners* Postal questionnaires and interviews (n=154) Pharmaceutical Industry Workshop (n~100) ADTCs Workshop (n~60) + + * ScotCen – Scottish Centre for Social Research
Stakeholders - Key FindingsImpact on ADTCs’ role and function
SMC Advice – method 1 Medicine Profiles ( n=74) • Not Recommended - 20/57 (35%) • Accepted / Restricted – 54/149 (36%)
SMC Advice – method 2 • Case study – Etanercept • Medicine use in psoriatic arthritis • Implementation of SMC Etanercept Protocol (Aug 2006) • Budget Impact • Compare estimate and actual spend (n=28) • Focus group to understand how NHS boards use this information
SMC Advice – Key FindingsNot Recommended advice (n=20) • 65% of advice issued within 6months of medicine launch date • Use before SMC advice (n=20) • £1.4m ( context - £3.7billion) • Use after SMC advice 2005/6 (n=10) • £1m ( 0.1% of drugs bill )
Variation in advice issued by national bodies to NHS boards and clinicians
Lack of engagement of relevant clinical experts in early stages of SMC
SMC Advice - Key FindingsSMC accepted/restricted advice (n=54) • 81% of advice issued within 6 months • Use before SMC advice ( n=41) • £1m (context £3.7billion) • Insufficient robust data for hospital medicines
updateSMC Advice - Key FindingsSMC accepted/restricted advice (n=54)
SMC Advice - Key FindingsEtanercept Table 1: SMC etanercept protocol – Adherence of NHS boards in Scotland at August 2006
SMC advice - Key Findings Budget Impact • Reliability of budget impact estimates • Unable to meaningfully compare data due to series of factors Experience of NHS Boards’ use of information • Budget information valued by NHS Boards for local planning • Further clarity and definition required to improve quality
Conclusions - Successes • ADTCs have adapted and evolved in response to SMC • SMC has good engagement with ADTCs and Pharmaceutical Industry • Budget impact information is valued by NHS boards
Conclusions – Challenges • Effective engagement with public partners remains a challenge • Monitoring use of medicines is limited by availability of robust hospital medicines data and lack of patient level data
Conclusion – Future Direction • Actions based on the factors identified which help to explain medicine use • Development of a more consistent approach to budget impact estimates • Actions based on findings from public partners • Continued development of effective methodologies to assess the contribution of HTA organisations to patient care
