Comment on Leeneman et al.:
Technological and scientific advancements are rapidly changing the pharmaceutical landscape. While innovative therapies can substantially improve health outcomes, their high costs place considerable pressure on healthcare budgets. Horizon scanning allows healthcare decision-makers, payers, and providers to identify pharmaceuticals with potentially significant impact on patients, public health, and healthcare systems at an early stage, which is crucial for balancing timely access with financial sustainability.
However, despite its recognized importance, practical guidance on evaluating the performance of horizon scanning is limited. In our study, published in the International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care, we developed a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the International Horizon Scanning Initiative (IHSI), in close collaboration with representatives from IHSI member countries and its Executive Committee. We also consulted horizon scanning experts from nonmember countries to identify strategies for strengthening horizon scanning where the KPIs indicate areas for improvement.
Although developed for IHSI, the KPIs can be adapted to support other national and international horizon scanning initiatives.
