Strengthening the System for the Assessment of Medical Devices in the specialist health care services

Changes

The regional health authorities, together with NOMA and the Hospital Procurement Trust, have developed proposals for improvements to ensure better prioritisation, assessment, and implementation of medical devices in the specialist health service.

The changes include, among other things, that medical devices may enter the system through three main channels:

  • Joint European health technology assessments, entering into force from January 2026
  • Requests from suppliers or proposals from clinicians and other stakeholders
  • Input from procurement functions in the health regions and Sykehusinnkjøp

The proposals for changes are now being circulated for consultation.
