Its use and associated costs have been rising in recent years. KCE analysed the situation in Belgium and abroad, and assessed the clinical benefit and cost-effectiveness of ECC. It concludes that the Belgian approach differs markedly from that in neighbouring countries, and does not appear to be supported either by the scientific literature or by international recommendations.

To provide faster scientific answers to pressing healthcare questions, the KCE has developed a new ‘accelerated’ methodology. Tue, 09 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0200 Kce Webmaster 2246 https://kce.fgov.be/en/publications/all-reports/data-requirements-for-risk-adjusted-capitation-payments-for-community-health-centres-in-belgium KCE Reports 385C (2024)The lump sums allocated to multidisciplinary general practices need to better reflect the characteristics of their patient population and the way they work. KCE was asked to develop a new method to calculate these lump sums. However, it soon became apparent that a number of data concerning workload and patient characteristics were not (yet) available or recorded in a uniform manner. Additional research will therefore be required before the actual method of calculation can be developed.

However, this approach does not adequately predict the impact of very expensive emerging drugs, such as cell and gene therapies. To identify those products and prepare the system for their arrival, the pharmaceutical pipeline needs to be systematically monitored. This is known as horizon scanning. KCE has issued recommendations to better predict future spending on pharmaceuticals, with particular emphasis on horizon scanning. Tue, 30 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0200 Kce Webmaster 2222 https://kce.fgov.be/en/indirect-hospital-costs-as-a-mark-up-percentage-on-direct-costs-in-belgium KCE Reports 380C (2024) In the future, hospital funding should evolve towards a system where each establishment receives a lump sum based on the severity of patients’ pathology, which will cover all care-related costs. Such lump sums will be calculated based on actual costs. However, in addition to direct operating costs (e.g. those relating to staffing levels or medical equipment), this calculation will also have to take into account so-called indirect costs (e.g. maintenance costs of the premises, administrative staff costs). KCE has been commissioned to calculate these indirect hospital costs in the form of a mark-up percentage on direct costs. Thu, 25 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0200 Kce Webmaster 2218 https://kce.fgov.be/en/lung-cancer-screening-in-a-high-risk-population KCE Reports 379C (2024) More and more people are calling for regular screening with low-dose CT scans for people at high risk of lung cancer, such as (ex-)heavy smokers. Treatment options and survival are considerably better when lung cancer is identified at an early stage. KCE has analysed the effectiveness, safety and cost-effectiveness of such screening. It concludes lung cancer screening can be cost-effective if €20,000 is deemed an acceptable price for the gain of one year of healthy life. However, as lung cancer screening comes with major advantages but also considerable drawbacks, it is essential to carefully weigh its pros and cons at the societal and the individual level.

KCE has attempted to understand why. A qualitative study carried out with patients and residential psychiatric care teams has shown that the limitations encountered may be due to prejudices and to administrative considerations that distinguish between physical health and mental health.

For general practitioners, however, this shift is not always passing off as smoothly as had been anticipated – even though the COVID-19 epidemic has speeded things up considerably. The KCE was asked to identify the factors liable to facilitate the adoption of the eHealth services by these practitioners who play such a pivotal role in our healthcare system.

There is an ever increasing risk of shortage, both in Belgium and worldwide, which means that strategies must urgently be devised with a view to a better control of their supplies and optimisation of the way they are used.

The Hospital & Transport Surge Capacity (HTSC) committee was set up at the beginning of March 2020 to advise the Risk Management Group on maximum hospital and patient transport capacity. In June 2020 the KCE was given the task of evaluating how the committee had functioned during the first wave of the epidemic and the way the hospitals responded to the measures it had enacted.

In our Belgian system, which is based on solidarity, efforts are made to reduce these inequalities as far as is possible.

Our health insurance sees to it that everyone can have access to the (sometimes partial) reimbursement of the cost of these devices, but the budget that this represents for the INAMI (National Sickness and Invalidity Insurance Institute) has more than doubled in ten years. It is chiefly the costs associated with increasingly sophisticated (partially or wholly) implantable hearing aids that are constantly rising.

Around 6% of these antibiotics are prescribed by dentists. We therefore developed a clinical practice guide designed to encourage them to prescribe these drugs in a more reasoned fashion.

In the months after discharge, it can occur in more than half of the patients that have stayed in intensive care for a serious pathology. Given the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is very likely that its incidence will increase in the coming months.  Thu, 29 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0100 Luc Hourlay 1888 intensive care illustration https://kce.fgov.be/en/publications/all-reports/organisation-of-diagnosis-and-treatment-of-obstructive-sleep-apnoea-syndrome-an-international KCE Reports 330C (2020) The obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is quite a common sleeping disorder – one for which nearly 140,000 people are currently being treated in Belgium. The treatment most typically uses a “CPAP” (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) device, which insufflates air into the respiratory tract whilst the person is sleeping. For its cost to be reimbursed in Belgium, this treatment systematically calls for a night of tests in the sleep laboratory, in a hospital, to confirm the diagnosis, whereupon another night in hospital is most often deemed necessary to adjust the treatment.

Furthermore, roughly one person in every hundred has had so-called “bariatric” surgery. In 2019 the KCE had already published an initial study on this type of surgery (KCE report 316, 2019), confirming that this operation is more effective than the traditional methods aimed at weight loss.

Yet they can currently be used without restrictions by doctors, even when they are “at high risk” (that is, more often than not, implantable).

Provided this cancer is in the early stage, treatment is essentially locoregional, that is, via surgery alone or combined with radiation therapy.

There are currently 34 of them; they encompass a varied array of services and concern a large range of chronic and/or complex problems: diabetes, dementia, respiratory disease, rare metabolic diseases, genital mutilation, etc. Thu, 01 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0100 Ine Verhulst 1700 R299 https://kce.fgov.be/en/publications/all-reports/the-use-of-whole-genome-sequencing-in-clinical-practice-challenges-and-organisational-considerations KCE Reports 300C (2018) The sequencing of the entire genome is a new form of genetic testing which, instead of targeting certain isolated genes, decodes all of an individual’s genes all at once (= his or her genome). This technology is advancing rapidly and its costs are decreasing, which suggests that it could soon displace conventional testing.

Is it necessary to organise their care in a separate network or can it be integrated into the “adult” healthcare system? To this question we have responded that the chronological age should not be a decisive criterion, because some “elderly” people are in top shape, active and independent, while others are very fragile and dependent.

For the “high variability” cluster – which groups together hospitalisation admissions for which needs are difficult to standardise and thus not predictable– the principle is that care is provided according to patients’ progress and that hospitals are reimbursed after the fact, based on the care actually provided.

These can be questionnaires of the Patient Reported Outcomes Measures (PROM) type which measure the way in which you evaluate your state of health (for example, certain adverse effects of treatments) or of the Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREM) type which measure the way in which you experienced your care (for example, the waiting time before the first appointment, the relationship with the doctor and other caregivers).

There has been much talk of this technique in recent years, since two projects by proton therapy centres are ongoing in Belgium, one in Louvain and the other in Charleroi.

It does this through two mechanisms: by income redistribution (high-income groups contribute more than low-income groups) and by cross-subsidies from low to high health risks.

To tackle this resistance problem, the prudent use of antibiotics is a priority. And because human, animal and environmental health are closely linked, this problem must be addressed through a “One Health” approach in which the different sectors collaborate.

Hence, a reduction in the number of maternity services was recommended. This is in line with an international trend to close smaller maternity services and transfer their activities to larger services in order to reduce the average cost per delivery.

People who have a low level of health literacy find it hard to interact properly with health professionals, understand the how and the why of their health condition, talk to professionals about the steps to be taken, understand drug leaflets, and follow their treatments correctly.

The downside is the complexity of the care supply. We also observed that parents to-be sometimes do not find their way in the health system maze and are not always able to find answers to their many questions. In addition, some pregnant women still slip through the net whereas others are over-monitored.
