Abstract
Objectives: Over the past decade, organizational impact (OI) has gained recognition as a key dimension in health technology assessment (HTA) in France, particularly for medical devices. Despite the publication of a national framework by the Haute Autorité de Santé in 2020, the absence of standardized methodologies continues to hinder its integration into decision making.
Methods: This commentary article traces the evolution of OI in French HTA, highlights real-world examples, and analyzes existing methodological tools, many adapted from other disciplines, that could enhance OI assessment.
Results: It emphasizes the need for flexible, context-sensitive approaches and proposes recommendations to improve the robustness, reproducibility, and relevance of OI evaluations.
Conclusions: The article also explores the implications for pricing and reimbursement decisions, as well as hospital-based HTA practices, aiming to support more structured and evidence-informed integration of organizational considerations into HTA processes in France and beyond.
