Our aspiration for EU citizens

Our common goal should be that patients around Europe have equal access to modern healthcare, regardless of medical, social and economic vulnerability

This includes that regulatory processes (pre- and post-MA) should be efficient and streamlined

Patients should not suffer undue delays in accessing new therapies

The Patients W.A.I.T. Indicator

Patients W.A.I.T. stands for patients waiting to access

Identification – name of product and MAH

Dates – each step in the MA process

Category – legal status and therapeutic class

Label – indications and prescription recommendations

for Europe – taken from EMA and Commission websites

for the US – taken from the FDA website

Country-specific data

Information Relating To The Administrative Processes In The Countries – collected from Member Associations

• Accessibility dates – the first date when doctors can prescribe the medicine to patients, who will be able to benefit from reimbursement conditions applicable in the country

• Access to medicines

Ambulatory or Hospital-only

Ambulatory, but initiated in hospital

Additional conditions, such as: special reimbursement conditions

Any other information, such as: application for reimbursement rejected; pending; etc.

Data taken from official sources, where available; other sources (mostly directly from member companies of the national associations)

Pricing & reimbursement approval may take place simultaneously

We have defined availability as

completion of the regulatory

processes required for patient

access at a basic level of

reimbursement

Official publication of the decision may be required

What does the Indicator measure?

The rate of accessibility

measured by the number of medicines available to patients in each country, compared to number of medicines with EU MA granted in the reference period

The average time between MA and patient access

measured by the number of days elapsing from the date of EU MA to the day of completion of post-MA administrative processes (including pricing and reimbursement processes)

These are not the delays as meant in the “Transparency” Directive

Expectations of citizens and patients

Modern medicine shows that prevention, early diagnosis,

and early treatment improves the prognosis

Citizens and patients rely on their governments to ensure

that they have access to the care they need

Governments are under popular pressure to reduce

waiting times and remove obstacles to access healthcare

products and services

Bridging the gap

Policy makers becoming increasingly concerned about

health expenditure and cost of innovation

Debate too much focused on cost and not on efficiency

Growing concern over possible ineffective (or harmful) use

of untested technology

Need for enlightened tools for assessing value of health

care services
