Over the past decade, organizational impact (OI) has gained recognition as a key dimension in health technology assessment (HTA) in France, particularly for medical devices. Despite the publication of a national framework by the Haute Autorité de Santé in 2020, the absence of standardized methodologies continues to hinder its integration into decision making.
Methods
This commentary article traces the evolution of OI in French HTA, highlights real-world examples, and analyzes existing methodological tools, many adapted from other disciplines, that could enhance OI assessment.
Results
It emphasizes the need for flexible, context-sensitive approaches and proposes recommendations to improve the robustness, reproducibility, and relevance of OI evaluations.
Conclusions
The article also explores the implications for pricing and reimbursement decisions, as well as hospital-based HTA practices, aiming to support more structured and evidence-informed integration of organizational considerations into HTA processes in France and beyond.
