This online on-demand seminar gives a comprehensive understanding of the hospital reimbursement landscape for medical devices in Scotland. Provided in the form of the presentation in Acrobat PDF
Scotland has a significantly different organization and financing of health care system from England.
Unlike the DRG-based financing in England, Scottish health care system mostly financed via a global budget principle. DRG is used for between-territory reimbursement of care.
Another important factor for market access is designation of service as a Special Clinical Service, with a specific commissioning approach.
Health technology assessment also plays a significant role in adoption of novel technologies by end-users.
We offer a seminar on critical elements of the hospital reimbursement system for medical devices in Scotland that can guide your decision-making about the introduction of novel technologies into this market.
