Historically, Spain has had one of the longest and most complicated reimbursement processes in Europe. This was seen to be due to its lengthy process in developing Therapeutic Positioning Reports (IPTs) and a lack of transparency in evaluation criteria. To counteract these claims, Spain is planning to reform its IPT process in 2021.

What Drove Spain to Change their IPT process?

IPTs, introduced in 2013, were initially expected to take 3 months for the Spanish Agency of Medicines & Health Products (AEMPS) research and analysis. However, in recent years AEMPS analysis has been taking over 9 months, plus additional time for evaluation by the autonomous communities (CCAAs) (1).

Windrose Consulting Group are pleased to announce the October promotions within our team.

Windrose Consulting Group acquires Parioforma as part of its global growth strategy to further enhance its capabilities in non-traditional markets.

VBAs are typically applied when access is not attained through “standard” value communication and negotiation, driven by uncertainties around the clinical evidence and / or financial impact of the drug in question. As more and more curative and transformative therapies such as gene therapies enter the market, payers are looking for innovative ways to pay for these next-generation medicines, which are often accompanied with an astronomical price tag.
