Proposing a health-specific organizational impact framework to evaluate organizational impacts in health technology assessments.

Objectives: Health technology assessments (HTAs) have traditionally included clinical and cost-effectiveness evaluation of new health technologies (HTs). However, new HTs can generate important organizational impacts (OIs) that influence their overall value. OIs are currently not clearly identified and evaluated in HTA procedures and tools are limited.

Economic evaluation of remote patient monitoring and organizational analysis according to patient involvement: a scoping review.

Background: A literature review concerning the economic evaluation of telemonitoring was requested by the authority in charge of health evaluation in France, in a context of deployment of remote patient monitoring and identification of its financing. Due to the heterogeneity of existing telemonitoring solutions, it was necessary to stratify the evaluation according to patient involvement. Three levels of patient involvement are considered: weak (automated monitoring), medium (monitoring supported by a professional), and strong (active remote participation).

Organizational Impact of Immunotherapies in Advanced Cancers in France.

Purpose: In 2020, the French National Authority for Health () published a methodologic guide called organizational impact (OI) cartography to define and structure assessment of the OI of health technologies. As immunotherapies are associated with extended survival and improved quality of life in advanced cancer, we aimed to identify OIs that immunotherapies had on health care systems and professionals. To our knowledge, we suggest the first implementation for OI assessment on the basis of the cartography.

A comprehensive approach to assess the costs of renal replacement therapy for end-stage renal disease in France: the importance of age, diabetes status, and clinical events.

Objectives: In the current pressured economic context, and to continue to treat the growing number of patients with high-quality standards, the first step is to have a better understanding of the costs related to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treatment according to various renal replacement therapy, age, diabetes status, and clinical events.

Methods: In order to estimate the direct costs of all adult ESRD patients, according to (RRT) modality, patient condition, and clinical events, data from the French national health insurance funds were used.

Results: The mean monthly costs for the 47,862 stable prevalent patients (73 % of the population) varied substantially according to treatment modality (from 7300€ for in-center hemodialysis to 1100€ for a functioning renal graft) and to clinical event (8300€ for the first month of dialysis, 11,000€ for the last month before death, 22,800€ for the first month after renal transplantation).
