Integration of Treatment council to The Danish Healthcare Quality Institute (DHQI) - Impacting Medtech and Diagnostics

RWD_DKHTA

The integration of the Treatment Council (Behandlingsrådet) into the Danish Healthcare Quality Institute (DHQI) provides an important development for Medtech and Diagnostics. 

The DHQI has a broader scope, including:  

  • Clinical Guidelines 
  • Evaluations 
  • Clinical Quality Registries 

With this combined responsibility, one could anticipate/hope there will be a broader utilisation of real-world data to inform the evaluations.  

Status of all initiated evaluations by Treatment council: 

 

Recommended: 

  • rTMS for resistant depression 
  • Non-operative treatment of distal radius fractures (>65) 
  • Sensor-based diabetes tech (CGM alarms) 
  • Home NIV for COPD patients 

Partial recommendation: 

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) treatment 

Not recommended: 

  • Internet CBT for depression (iKAT) 
  • Handheld ultrasound in acute care 
  • AI decision support in colonoscopy  
  • High-tech hospital beds  
  • Non-arthroscopic partial meniscus resection 
  • Optune for Gliobastoma
