  1. The HTA-Adoption (missing) Link for Medical Devices: Observations to Date Daria O’Reilly PhD Associate Professor, Dept. of Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Faculty of Health Sciences, McMaster University Associate Director, PATH Research Institute, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. CADTH Symposium Ottawa, ON April 11, 2016

  3. Medical Devices • $6.8 Billion/yr industry • For regulators, challenge to regulate for safety and effectiveness • Risk-based approach • For payers, it is to manage the costs as well as the benefits to patients. • HTA to determine value for $

  4. HTA & Adoption • Adoption can be slow regardless of evidence base • Positive recommendation does not ensure successful uptake • HTA does not address adoption • Assumes seamless and costless, beyond the incremental costs of the device itself • Even after procurement

  5. Factors Affecting Adoption • Uptake depends on the impact on the health system • operating costs, HR needs, disruptiveness, readiness, usability, willingness, storage, patient demand, medical need • Reimbursement-who should pay and why? • ID payer for device and disposables (e.g. hospital capital budget vs. MOH vs. private). May require shifting of budgets between silos • May also require a new payment model for remuneration (new OHIP codes)

  6. Implications for Traditional HTA • Broader context and impacts of non-drug technologies (HR needs, training, credentialing, system readiness) • HTA should support decision making not only on what to implement, but also on how to implement innovative HTs

  7. Implications for Traditional HTA • Evaluation should be iterative, tailored to the device and timely • Based on type, context, indication, use • Clinical efficacy and CE are necessary but not sufficient • Understanding the organizational implications is vital • Innovative methods requires communication between stakeholders (industry, patients, HCP, payers), researchers, procurement and regulatory processes
