Objectives:The aim of this study was to describe the history and present situation with health technology assessment (HTA) in Israel.Methods:The method used in this study was a historical analysis based mainly on the knowledge of the authors, but supplemented by the published literature.Results:HTA originated in Israel as a centralized function conducted under the auspice of research, developing into an active multidisciplinary center. Throughout the expansion of the field, HTA was performed in affiliation with several local and international bodies, while providing direct and indirect support at the national level. Today, mainly as a result of vigorous dissemination of the principles, methodology and tools for HTA by the Israeli Center for Technology Assessment in Health Care (ICTAHC), this discipline is increasingly a decentralized activity conducted by a great variety of institutions. Israeli health policy decisions are increasingly based on the results of HTA.Conclusions:ICTAHC's role and functioning has expanded since its beginnings. HTA has become an important part of health care in Israel.

The most recent discussions of the HTAi Policy Forum are being showcased in this issue of our Journal. The topic of adaptive approaches to technology management has been a policy area of continuing importance and relevance to health technology assessment agencies and policy makers as well as industry. The latest Policy Forum publication (Husereau et al., in this issue) demonstrates that the discussions at the meeting about this complex topic were very wide indeed.

Health Technology Management

Medical device systems Clinical Engineering (CE)/Health Technology Management (HTM) strategies and best practices are now well established in most first world and many developing countries (DC).Progress is being made to address identified gaps in DC CE/HTM, such as appropriate equipment selection and lifecycle management. One contributor to this progress is the 25 years of CE/HTM Seminars provided by WHO-PAHO, ACCE, and more recently, IFMBE CED, to 80 countries. There is also a new emerging challenge; the requirement for medical device (clinical data) integration (MDI) into electronic health records (EHRs) to improve care quality and safety (aka CE-IT).This study will review CE/HTM progress, gaps, and new challenges since the last study in 2011. It will provide a framework to direct the global CE/HTM movement forward in collaborative fashion, alongside other initiatives in 2015, such as the 1st International CE-HTM Congress and the Global CE Summit held in Hanzhou, China, in October, 2015.

<p>Developing countries such as Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Indonesia and so many could not introduce clinical engineering professional (CEP) in health technology management (HTM) science. As a result, they could not establish the safe health technology management. Conversely, CEP has been introduced by developed countries in HTM for about last 35 years long and thereby established a safe health care system. We noticed the continual problem in the health care management system. To overcome this continual problem, we think that clinical engineering professional is very much necessary to proper implementation of health technology management in developing countries in order to ensure the safe health care system. CEP will train to HTM personnel and a safe health care management will be established in developing countries. The modern medical technology will be involved by the proper practice of HTM and CEP. This pioneer professional will keep the whole HTM with good functional condition. Therefore, we conclude that introducing of CEP is badly necessary to improve the existing unhealthy HTM as well as health care system of the developing countries.HTM personnel will understand the necessity of CEP as well as health care planners. This paper will guide to the existing personnel of HTM and help them to understand the importance roles of CEP. Among these counties, the health care technology management system seems to very problematic. Continually, it is observing that the health care technology management performance is twisting with the increase of sophisticated medical devices. Authors firmly believe that an excellent benefit can be obtained by introducing skilled clinical engineers in the health services of developing countries as Bangladesh. </p>

Objective: To analyze evolution of the health technology assessment (HTA) at the national level in South Korea.Methods: Analysis of public documents, personal communication, and literative review.Results: HTA in South Korea has been developed since 1990s, first introduced by academia and institutionalized within the National Health Insurance (NHI). Rapidly increasing expenditure had been a challenge of the NHI, which considered health technology management as a cost controlling measure. An amendment was made to the NHI Law in 2000, and provision was made to regulate the process of determining new insurance benefits including procedures, drugs, and equipment. This requirement made the NHI agencies to promote HTA approaches in connection with the government and professional organizations. Also the Healthcare Act was revised in October 2006 ruling that HTA focusing on safety and effectiveness be responsible for new health technologies. Currently, the HTA process is governed by a governmental committee comprising twenty members and technically supported by the HTA center created in the NHI structure.Conclusions: Institutionalized HTA in Korea has been driven mainly by the requirements of the NHI and manifested strengths as well as weaknesses. The government is establishing a new organization for HTA, independent from the NHI.

Empirische Forschung

Zunächst führt dieser Artikel in die wesentlichen Begrifflichkeiten und Zielstellungen der Versorgungsforschung ein. Er befasst sich dann mit der Frage, wie die einzelnen Teildisziplinen der Versorgungsforschung, (1) die Bedarfsforschung, (2) die Inanspruchnahmeforschung, (3) die Organisationsforschung, (4) das Health Technology Assessment, (5) die Versorgungsökonomie, (6) die Qualitätsforschung und zuletzt (7) die Versorgungsepidemiologie konzeptionell zu fassen sind, und wie sie für neuropsychologische Anliegen ausformuliert werden müssen. In diesem Zusammenhang werden die in den einzelnen Bereichen jeweils vorliegenden versorgungsrelevanten Studienergebnisse referiert. Soweit es zulässig ist, werden Bedarfe für die Versorgungsforschung und Versorgungspraxis in der Neurorehabilitation daraus abgeleitet und Anregungen für die weitere empirische Forschung formuliert. Der Artikel bezieht sich – entsprechend seines Anliegens – ausschließlich auf Studien, die sich mit der Situation der deutschen Neurorehabilitation befassen.
