The study aimed at identifying key measures for an efficient and effective JCA process to enable national rollout.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A survey was conducted with international pharmaceutical companies, followed by a multi-stakeholder workshop that expanded on the findings.

Long term, the focus shifts to aligning HTA methodologies and evidence requirements across the EU. Establishing metrics to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the JCA is a key step in the HTAR's ongoing learning journey. To enhance the efficiency of the JCA process, a list of metrics is recommended for continuous improvement, as well as establishing training programs to strengthen member states' capabilities, fostering open dialog for sharing technology-specific insights, and creating open-source tools to support companies. Additionally, research should be conducted to understand agencies' expectations of the JCA and how they will use its reports, grouping agencies by archetype to identify trends. A key recommendation is the development of a product-based scorecard to evaluate JCA submissions and reviews from various perspectives, ensuring the process meets stakeholders' needs and can be effectively utilized in national decision-making.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The JCA process offers a significant opportunity to streamline HTA decision-making across Europe. This study highlights several key measures and consideration for its successful rollout, including the need for clearer communication about the role of JCA in national decisions, measurement of rollout time components, and the development of quality evaluation frameworks.

The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 sought to formalise this integration by restructuring governance and service provision to improve coordination between health and social care sectors. Despite these efforts, challenges remain in fully achieving the intended outcomes of the integration. This study analysed Scotland's integrated health and social care through the theoretical frameworks of public choice, institutionalism, and functionalism. The objective was to examine policy drivers, structural mechanisms, and governance implications, providing insights into the broader impact of integrated care reforms. A qualitative research approach was employed, synthesising data from peer-reviewed literature, government publications, and policy documents. The findings on integration were systematically examined through the lens of each public policy model, allowing for a nuanced analysis of how Scotland's approach to integration aligns with and diverges from these frameworks. A literature search was performed on PUBMED, Google Scholar, and Scottish government portals. While integration improved coordination and service delivery in some areas, limitations in funding allocation, workforce distribution, and governance autonomy limited its overall success. Scotland's integrated care model demonstrates potential benefits in reducing service fragmentation and improving patient-centred care; however, persistent challenges such as funding constraints, workforce shortages, and governance conflicts indicate that integration alone is not sufficient to resolve systemic healthcare inefficiencies. This study provides a perspective on Scotland's health and social care integration, offering valuable lessons for other European countries facing similar demographic and healthcare challenges.</p>","PeriodicalId":73811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of market access & health policy","volume":"13 1","pages":"8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11942909/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143722847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of our study was to evaluate and to understand how health economics is used today, taking Belgium as an example of a high-income country. The evaluation started with a historical view of healthcare development and ended with potential projections for its future. A literature review focused on country-specific evaluation reports to identify the health economic methods used, with a search for potential gaps. The first results indicated that Belgium in 2021 devoted 11% of its GDP, 17% of its total tax revenue, and 30% of the national Social Security Fund to health-related activities, totalizing EUR 55.5 billion spending. The main health economic method used was a cost-effectiveness analysis linked to budget impact, assigning reimbursable monetary values to new products becoming available. However, these evaluation methods only impacted at most 20% of the money circulating in healthcare. The remaining 80% was subject to financial regulations (70%) and budgeting (10%), which could use many other techniques of an economic analysis. The evaluation indicated two potentially important changes in health economic use in Belgium. One was an increased focus on budgeting with plans, time frames, and quantified treatment objectives on specific disease problems. Economic models with simulations are very supportive in those settings. The other was the application of constrained optimization methods, which may become the new standard of practice when switching from fee-for-service to pay-per-performance as promoted by value-based healthcare and value-based health management. This economic refocusing to a more constrained approach may help to keep the healthcare system sustainable and affordable in the face of the many future challenges including ageing, climate change, migration, pandemics, logistical limitations, and financial instability.</p>","PeriodicalId":73811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of market access & health policy","volume":"12 3","pages":"264-279"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11417786/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142309281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
