THE FUTURE OF TAIWAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AND POLICIES Chun Chen, Premier of the Executive Branch, Taiwan Government, Taipei, Taiwan (Translation between English-Chinese is provided)
Health technology assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary process that summarizes information about the medical, social, economic and ethical issues related to the use of a health technology in a systematic, transparent, unbiased, robust way. To ensure the HTA process is successful, a health system needs the infrastructure and human capacity, adequate data sources, PE/HTA guidelines, and an understanding of the methods used in HTA. In Asia, where health systems are significantly changing and resources are severely limited, conducting or evaluating a health technology in Asia is a real challenge. This session will discuss the key building blocks in the development of an HTA process in the Asian context and the role of HTA in improving the health care systems in Asia.

CLINICAL ENDPOINTS: FINAL VERSUS SURROGATE ENDPOINT - IMPLICATIONS AND RELEVANCE FROM A PAYER, PHYSICIAN AND PATIENT PERSPECTIVE (Sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company)
Health technology assessment (HTA) in Asia is a process that mainly involves specialized experts from academia, industry, and government agencies. One common observation across the region is the limited or lack of involvement by patients or health care practitioners in the process. If the HTA process is to actively engage all key stakeholder groups, patients and health care practitioners should be included. For example, the Australian Patients Association, UK’s NICE Citizens’ Council, and International Alliance of Patients’ Organizations provide valuable input on contentious subjects and collectively lobby for patient’s rights, including equity and access to health care technology. In this session, international experience on how the views of patients and health care practitioners are incorporated into HTA and health care coverage decisions will be shared, and how this experience can be adapted in Asia will be discussed and debated.
