Abstract
|
|
|
|
The aim of this study was to overview current trends and to share latest results on horizon scanning (HS) in the healthcare sector. HS, also known as an early awareness and alert system, explores new and emerging health technologies that will be introduced in the market in a few years. It provides early information regarding the safety, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, ethical and policy considerations surrounding the adoption of new and emerging technologies for various stakeholders (i.e., clinicians, healthcare industries, patients, health planners and policy makers). Thus, HS can be used in guiding decision- and policymaking. Numerous agencies for health technology assessment are performing HS, though their programs are still in their infancy. Because healthcare R&D spending is continuously increasing, HS can play a significant role in making intelligent and evidence-based investments.
