The Prioritization Report: Health for All

The report sets three main goals: equitable and rapid access to healthcare services, trust in prioritization systems, and long-term sustainability. The government proposes several measures within e-health and health technology, including:

• Further development of the method notification function for medical equipment
• Clearer criteria for selecting technology in the New Methods system
• Increased use of mini-method assessments in municipalities and health enterprises
• Closer integration between method assessment, research, and procurement

-Good ambitions, but too little substance, says Lena Nymo Helli, CEO of Norway Health Tech, to MedWatch. She notes the lack of measures that clearly link the prioritization system to industrial development and emphasizes the need to measure impact from a societal perspective—not just in terms of cost or activity.

-We miss new measures that would radically improve decision-making capacity—and accountability—for faster change and adaptation, says Helli.
