Changes

The regional health authorities, together with NOMA and the Hospital Procurement Trust, have developed a proposal to improve and ensure prioritisation, assessment and implementation of medical devices in the Norwegian specialist health services.

The changes include, among other things, that medical devices are selected through one of three channels:

  • European-wide health technology assessments, in effect from January 2026
  • Evaluation requests from suppliers, clinicians and other stakeholders
  • Input from the regional health authorities and the Hospital Procurement Trust Sykehusinnkjøp

Opinions on the proposed changes to Nye metoder have been received until May 18, 2025. A decision is expected in the fall. Read more on the Nye metoder website.
