Guidelines for the Budget Impact Analysis of Health Technologies in Ireland

This document, Guidelines for Budget Impact Analysis of Health Technologies in Ireland is a complementary document to the Guidelines for Economic Evaluation of Health Technologies in Ireland (2010). They are limited to methodological guidance on the conduct of budget impact analysis and are intended to promote best practice in budget impact analysis (BIA). They will be reviewed and revised as necessary. The purpose of these BIA guidelines is to assist those conducting or using BIA as part of HTA in Ireland.

They are intended to inform BIA conducted by, or on behalf of the Health Information and Quality Authority, the National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics, the Department of Health and Children and the Health Service Executive (HSE), to include health technology suppliers preparing applications for reimbursement.
