Horizon scanning for pharmaceuticals: proposal for the BeNeLuxA collaboration
KCE Reports 283 (2017)
The ‘BeNeLuxA Collaboration’ is the result of the willingness of the Belgian, Dutch, Luxembourg and Austrian governments to collaborate on drug policy. In this context, the KCE has been asked to study the possibilities of setting up a common Horizon Scanning system for pharmaceutical products. Horizon scanning consists of scrutinizing the drugs that will arrive on the market, the impact of which could be important – clinically or budgetary – for the health system, in order to anticipate this arrival and to be able to conduct a pre-evaluation. This would help participating countries to identify products on which they could collaborate more closely.
