Tóm tắt :

122 p. In the context of pharmaceutical care, policy-makers repeatedly facethe challenge of balancing patient access to effective medicines withaffordability and rising costs. With the aim of guiding the health policydiscourse towards questions that are important to actual and potential patients,this study investigates a broad range of regulatory measures, spanningmarketing authorization to generic substitution and resulting price levels in asample of 16 European health systems (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, England,Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland,Portugal, Scotland, Spain and Sweden).All countries employ a mix of regulatory mechanisms to containpharmaceutical expenditure and ensure quality and efficiency in pharmaceuticalcare, albeit with varying configurations and rigour. This variation alsoinfluences the extent of publicly financed pharmaceutical costs. Overall,observed differences in pharmaceutical expenditure should be interpreted inconjunction with the differing volume and composition of consumption andprice levels, as well as dispensation practices and their impact on measurementof pharmaceutical costs.No definitive evidence has yet been produced on the effects of differentcost-containment measures on patient outcomes. Depending on the foremostpolicy concerns in each country, different levers will have to be used to enablethe delivery of appropriate care at affordable prices.
