Assessor and Co-Assessor<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The assessor and co-assessor are employees of HTA bodies or equivalent organisations operating in EU Member States, as well as Norway and Iceland. The assessor and co-assessor always come from two different member states. They work together to produce a Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) report or a Joint Scientific Consultation (JSC) outcome document. They will ask for the contribution from patients, carers, and clinical experts at different stages of the production process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Assessment Scope<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The assessment scope frames the research question by specifying the patient population, intervention, comparator, and outcomes for which the health technology developer submits clinical evidence. The assessment scope is prepared by the assessor and co-assessor of the JCA and finalised by the JCA Subgroup after the review by patients, carers, clinical experts, other relevant experts, and the Member States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Meeting for an exchange of views<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

Meetings for an exchange of views are integral components of the JSC procedure.  Patients and carers, clinical experts, other relevant experts, the health technology developer, the European Commission, the assessor and co-assessor, and the JSC subgroup participate in these meetings to discuss the submitted briefing package and the developer\u2019s questions. Dedicated experts from the European Medicines Agency are also invited to these meetings for procedures in which both regulatory and HTA bodies are involved (i.e. \u2018parallel JSCs\u2019).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

BCCH<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The Brussels Centre for Collaboration in Health (BCCH) is a non-profit organisation established under Belgian law by the National Institute for Health and Disability Insurance (RIZIV-INAMI). BCCH provides administrative and project management support for the implementation of joint activities by European Health Technology Assessment (HTA) bodies under the EU HTA Regulation. It coordinates the involvement of patients and experts through a dedicated hub. BCCH supports collaboration across Europe by offering operational and logistical assistance to the HTA Framework Contract Consortium (HTA FCC), which enables Member States to carry out Joint Clinical Assessments (JCAs) and Joint Scientific Consultations (JSCs).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

JSC Outcome Document<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The JSC Outcome Document is the final deliverable of the Joint Scientific Consultation procedure, summarising the advice given to the health technology developer on the evidence package to be submitted. This is a confidential document and will not be published.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

JSC Subgroup<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

JCA Report and Summary Report<\/strong><\/div><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\n

The deliverables of the Joint Clinical Assessment procedure, produced by the assessor and co-assessor, reviewed and validated by the JCA Subgroup, and endorsed by the HTA Coordination Group. These documents contain the assessors\u2019 analysis based on the health technology developer\u2019s submission, in line with the final assessment scope proposed by Member States.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
