Core value dossiers for medical technologies

Essential tool to support market access and marketing efforts through the lifecycle of the product

MTRC can provide support with the development of both early and core value dossiers. Typically, a dossier is developed from either a global or European perspective.

The challenge that every innovative medical technology company faces, is communicating its value of medical technology to different stakeholders: why is this specific health care problem important (mortality, morbidity, impact on quality of life, cost-of-illness)? What are the current treatment options and what are their limitations? What is the size of the population with high unmet needs? What is the proposed novel solution? Is the treatment/diagnostic option safe and effective? What are the economic consequences to the hospital and health care system? What are the organizational requirements for the introduction of a novel method?

What is the typical content of the dossier?

Our approach takes into account both the EUnetHTA Core HTA model, and the format of the typical reimbursement and HTA dossiers in Europe.

Burden of disease

Epidemiological analysis to present incidence, prevalence, high-risk groups, mortality, morbidity, impact on quality of life, and cost-of-illness. This section answers the question: why is this specific healthcare problem important? 

Current treatment options and unmet need

Current treatment/diagnostic pathways, based on clinical guidelines and surveys of patients and physicians

Review of limitations of existing treatment methods

This section answers the questions: what are the current treatment options and what are their limitations? Presentation of the technology

Technical presentation of the technology in scope, including composition, method of action, description of the procedure, and necessary requirements. This section gives a general overview of the technology

Clinical evidence

Evidence of the safety and efficacy of the technology, based on the systematic literature review. This section answers the question: is this technology safe and effective?

Economic outcomes

Analysis of the cost of the procedure and comparative treatments. Cost-effectiveness and budget impact analysis. This section answers the questions: what are the cost implications for this technology? Does it offer value for money? What is the economic impact of the introduction of this technology?

Global, European 

or country-specific dossiers

Usually, dossiers are developed from a global or European perspective, which means that the selection of epidemiological data, treatment patterns, patient pathways and other data is based primarily on either global or European sources.

Clinical effectiveness data are always based on global evidence.

The scope of the dossier is discussed with the client to adjust the methodological approach. In some cases, MTRC will limit the data to key European markets (e.g., EU5 – France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK). 

Our team can apply our deep knowledge of the requirements of different reimbursement and Health Technology Assessment stakeholders in Europe to ensure that our clients receive a truly useful value dossier. MTRC has worked on reimbursement/HTA submission projects in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Sweden, and the UK.
