Due to the rapid population growth among old people and the increase in prevalence of chronic diseases, many countries around the world and the health industry have invested their large capitals and made efforts in order to develop innovative and the most advanced health technologies. The newly developed and advanced technologies provide benefits, but on the other hand, they also increase national healthcare costs and cause uncertainty in safety and effectiveness. In turn, there needs to be a monitoring system for emerging health technologies, and a solution can be the development and introduction of a horizon scanning system. The results of horizon scanning activities could provide information about potential impact and expected benefits of emerging health technology to patients, policy makers, and the health industry. The purpose of the study was to develop Korea’s framework of a horizon scanning system for emerging health technology that can identify health technologies early in the development stage, analyze their potential impact on public health, and provide objective and timely information on emerging technologies for healthcare industries, health service providers, policy makers, and patients. |
