Sep 2022

The Dental and Pharmaceutical Benefits Agency (TLV) planned a theme survey on products for the diagnosis or treatment of lung cancer and colorectal cancer as part of the horizon scanning phase of the Orderly Introduction framework. The purpose of the theme survey is to identify products that may be relevant for health economic assessments at TLV within this framework.

This Orderly Introduction framework, which aims to manage the national introduction of novel technologies, is permanent from the beginning of 2020. This is a staged process, including horizon scanning, selection of the method for evaluation, the decision on national collaboration, health economic evaluation, and recommendations by the MTP Council to regions about the introduction of the method and criteria for use.

The theme survey is planned to be carried out in September – October 2022. However, no further information has been provided yet.
