Translation of "Iqwig" in English

The foundation of the IQWiG belongs to the long-term consequences of the GMG.

Furthermore, the IQWiG receives concrete assignments from the G-BA.

IQWiG thanks the external expert for his contribution to the dossier assessment.

Furthermore, the announced process of IQWiG lacks of transparence.

The procedure for deriving the overall conclusion on the added benefit is a proposal from IQWiG.

These charges are determined each year by the G-BA according to the budget of the IQWiG.

The Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Healthcare (IQWiG) () is a German agency responsible for assessing the quality and efficiency of medical treatments, including drugs, non-drug interventions (e.g.

To ease understanding, the two bodies involved - the G-BA and the IQWiG – will first be presented and the structure and content of the dossier underlying an early benefit assessment clarified.

It is conceivable that IQWiG carries out very strict assessments of the available evidence, while the G-BA takes aspects of provision more strongly into account.

Back in 2007, the SHI Competition Enhancement Act stipulated that the IQWiG could be delegated by the G-BA with a benefit or cost-benefit assessment, primarily designed to find a "reimbursement amount" that appropriately remunerates the added benefit of newly authorised drugs (paragraph 35b of Volume V of the German Social Code).

The programme also includes a series of presentations and discussions with representatives of the BfArM, IQWIG, TÜV and the German Cochrane Centre on regulatory aspects.

To this result on 28 February 2007 published short report (rapidly report) of the institute comes for quality and economy in the health service (IQWiG).

The IQWiG is financed by surcharges on inpatient and outpatient healthcare services, most of which are reimbursed by the statutory health insurance funds (GKV).

This is where the full text of the cited sources, files for the documentation of information gathering, reports of all studies of the pharmaceutical company, essential authorisation documents, assessment report of the authorising authority and a checklist for testing the formal completeness can be found (IQWiG, 2013b).

For example, in 2014, IQWiG compiled 36 assessments for 33 active substances (not including orphan drugs).

The Bundesverband der Pharmazeutischen Industrie (BPI) (Federal Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry) considers in the practice-oriented "effectiveness" the criterion which best expresses the interests of the patients however, the comments from the IQWiG rather aim at "efficacy".

Moreover, she critically looked into the planned tasks of the newly - in connection with GMG - established Institut für Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen (IQWiG) (Institute for Quality and Effectiveness in Health Care).

IQWiG is financed by charges for inpatient and outpatient medical care under the statutory health insurance system.

Natalie Masche and Andrea Kamphuis introduced the social media campaign #screenonly with which the IQWiG aimed to hinder regression in data transparency in 2014.

The procedure is divided into two steps: in the first part, an independent institute named IQWIG assesses the medicinal product and subsequent to this the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) then issues an assessment of the additional benefit.

Independent institutions such as the IQWiG, proponents say, could objectively assess the public funding of drug costs, and that because of this the high costs and low benefits for the patient may be rejected.

Under the AMNOG, the IQWiG is assigned two new tasks: on the one hand, it assesses the dossier of the pharmaceutical manufacturer and draws up a benefit assessment on this basis.

Moreover, the health economic symposium of the GD department Dermatotherapy dealt with possible consequences of further health economic alterations to be expected by the new Institut für Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit im Gesundheitswesen (IQWiG) (Institute for Quality and Cost-effectiveness in Health Service).

As this however is already consulted in the approval process on the benefit-risk assessment, the IQWiG is not to repeat this procedure.

This thesis shall focus solely on the benefit assessment however, since the drawing up of a cost-benefit assessment in the context of AMNOG has not been necessary so far (IQWiG, 2013a, p. 18).

In 2012, 37 employees were working in the field of medicinal product assessment (IQWiG, 2013A, pp.

She is also a member of the board of trustees of the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWIG).
