Abstract
In 2023, the General Directorate of Pharmacy of the Ministry of Health commissioned the Advisory Committee on the Financing of Pharmaceuticals for the National Health System (CAPF, Comité Asesor para la Financiación de la Prestación Farmacéutica del Sistema Nacional de Salud) to produce a guideline for the evaluation of the efficiency of medicines. The aim of this methodological note is to present their main points. The guideline includes 17 dimensions that an economic evaluation of medicines must encompass, the design of a reference case, and a checklist for evaluating the methodological quality and reporting. This guideline should serve as a foundational document for reforming the health technologies evaluation processes of the Ministry of Health. The guideline can also assist researchers, public health professionals, health technology companies and decision makers in assessing the validity of findings and conclusions from health economic evaluations.
2023年,卫生部药事总局委托国家卫生系统药品筹资咨询委员会(CAPF,委员会,Asesor para Financiación de la Prestación国家卫生系统农业组织(farmactica del Sistema nacsalud))制定了一项评价药品效率的准则。本方法学说明的目的是提出他们的主要观点。该指南包括药物经济评价必须包括的17个方面、参考病例的设计以及用于评价方法学质量和报告的清单。该指南应作为改革卫生部卫生技术评价程序的基础文件。该指南还可以帮助研究人员、公共卫生专业人员、卫生技术公司和决策者评估卫生经济评估结果和结论的有效性。
