Strategiczny model funkcjonalny z koordynującą rolą Regionalnego Centrum Oceny Inwestycji wspartego przez Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia oraz Agencję Oceny Technologii Medycznych i Taryfikacji – model mieszany
Mixed functional model HB-HTA with the coordinating role of the Regional Center for Investments supported by the Polish National Fund and Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariff System

Summary/Abstract: The implementation of the strategic model for hospital health technology assessment in Poland requires the involvement of many stakeholders. HB-HTA fundamentally concerns hospitals and how they rationalize decision making in implementing innovative medical technologies. However, the need to obtain public funding after verifying the effectiveness of a given medical technology or to keep up with the evolving HB-HTA method¬ology naturally requires the involvement of both the payer (NFZ) and the Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariff System in activities connected with the implementation and development of HB-HTA. An important aspect of the coordination of activities in relation to hospital HTA is also the support given to hospitals by regional authorities – competent health departments in voivodeship offices – by assessing HB-HTA reports prepared by the hospitals and indicating regional competitive potential of a given medical technology. This creates a hybrid/mixed system of insti¬tutional support for innovative medical technologies implemented in hospitals. This institutional plurality within HB-HTA is a clear asset, strengthening the hospital’s planned undertaking substantively and financially, especially when the assistance mechanisms undertaken are flexible, soft in nature, and allow hospital units to shape effective HB-HTA activities.
