Hosting the INAHTA secretariat DIMDI‘s ideas and visions Dr.med. Hans-Peter Dauben, Rio de Janeiro, June 2011
Who is DIMDI – who is DAHTA • DIMDI (German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information) is an institution within the federal ministry of health • ~130 staff members, ~30 Mill. €
Who is DIMDI – who is DAHTA • Legal tasks: • Hosting informationsystems(literaturedatabases, Medical device System, Pharmaceuticalsystem) • Connectingpointforhealthrelateddataandstandardsto EU(e.g. Eudamed, EMA, ISO) • National classificationandterminologycentre (WHO coll. partner) • National HTA informationcentre - DAHTA
INAHTA – the global network • Connectingorganisations • Sharing knowledge • Searchingforhelp • Disseminate HTA relatedinformation • Strengtheningthepositionoftheagencies
The network: topicsandrelationshipscan form nodesofcommunication
The global ideas • A networkis not a centralcommunicationbody • INAHTA‘sgrowthanddevelopmentare not based on: • a singleregionorarea • a singletopic
DIMDI‘s analysis of the actual status • More and more agencies exist around the world • Pro: greater HTA impact and more resources • Con: less knowing, more communication difficulties • We are in need of methods to raise the awareness and raise the trust between INAHTA partners • Differentiation between the agencies is getting bigger • Pro: more different kind of knowledge • Con: less common interest at the same time • We are in need to bring together agencies with common interest
DIMDI‘s analysis of the actual status • There are increasing numbers of national, regional or continental networks in HTA with different kind of structures and different kind of membership • Pro: more different kind of knowledge • Con: less connection to the outer world because of fear of loosing influence • We are in need to connect these regional networks by agencies inside of these networks
decentralisation - regionalisation Our ideas: • Getting a decentralised secretariat with a strong central unit can: • Connect the different areas • Offers more easy trust building • Improves communication • Supports regional development without loosing global perspectives Decentralisedofficemeans not regional chapters
Secretariatsvision • The secretariatshouldreflect different kindof: • Daily liferequirements • Different kindofhealthareas • Different kindofscientific, administrative and legal background
the secretariat proposal • The central secretariat is responsible for all secretariat functions • Responsible for bringing INAHTA strategy into action and supporting the board within their work • The staff members will be taken out of DIMDI staff and will be part time working for the secretariat • General secretariat functions, knowledge management, IT affairs
the secretariat proposal – decentralised jobs • Working on • General secretariat functions in relation to communications • Responsible for different languages • Responsible for different topics • Staff requirements: • Should be included within daily work
Needs withingoodcomunication • Reducedlanguagebarriers • Reachable in goodworking time • Havingsomekindofunderstandingoftheissueandtheenvironment
