In June 2011, Dr. Hans-Peter Dauben presented DIMDI’s insights at the INAHTA meeting in Rio de Janeiro. DIMDI, the German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information, plays a key role in connecting health-related data across Europe and serves as a national HTA information center. The presentation outlined the benefits and challenges of increasing Health Technology Assessment (HTA) networks globally. DIMDI advocates for decentralization to enhance communication, support regional development, and foster trust among partners. Emphasizing the need for collaboration, the proposal aims to establish a strong central unit that connects diverse agencies while accommodating local needs.

Hosting the INAHTA secretariat DIMDI‘s ideas and visions Dr.med. Hans-Peter Dauben, Rio de Janeiro, June 2011
Who is DIMDI – who is DAHTA • DIMDI (German Institute for Medical Documentation and Information) is an institution within the federal ministry of health • ~130 staff members, ~30 Mill. €
Who is DIMDI – who is DAHTA • Legal tasks: • Hosting informationsystems(literaturedatabases, Medical device System, Pharmaceuticalsystem) • Connectingpointforhealthrelateddataandstandardsto EU(e.g. Eudamed, EMA, ISO) • National classificationandterminologycentre (WHO coll. partner) • National HTA informationcentre - DAHTA
INAHTA – the global network • Connectingorganisations • Sharing knowledge • Searchingforhelp • Disseminate HTA relatedinformation • Strengtheningthepositionoftheagencies
The network: topicsandrelationshipscan form nodesofcommunication
The global ideas • A networkis not a centralcommunicationbody • INAHTA‘sgrowthanddevelopmentare not based on: • a singleregionorarea • a singletopic
DIMDI‘s analysis of the actual status • More and more agencies exist around the world • Pro: greater HTA impact and more resources • Con: less knowing, more communication difficulties • We are in need of methods to raise the awareness and raise the trust between INAHTA partners • Differentiation between the agencies is getting bigger • Pro: more different kind of knowledge • Con: less common interest at the same time • We are in need to bring together agencies with common interest
DIMDI‘s analysis of the actual status • There are increasing numbers of national, regional or continental networks in HTA with different kind of structures and different kind of membership • Pro: more different kind of knowledge • Con: less connection to the outer world because of fear of loosing influence • We are in need to connect these regional networks by agencies inside of these networks
decentralisation - regionalisation Our ideas: • Getting a decentralised secretariat with a strong central unit can: • Connect the different areas • Offers more easy trust building • Improves communication • Supports regional development without loosing global perspectives Decentralisedofficemeans not regional chapters
Secretariatsvision • The secretariatshouldreflect different kindof: • Daily liferequirements • Different kindofhealthareas • Different kindofscientific, administrative and legal background
the secretariat proposal • The central secretariat is responsible for all secretariat functions • Responsible for bringing INAHTA strategy into action and supporting the board within their work • The staff members will be taken out of DIMDI staff and will be part time working for the secretariat • General secretariat functions, knowledge management, IT affairs
the secretariat proposal – decentralised jobs • Working on • General secretariat functions in relation to communications • Responsible for different languages • Responsible for different topics • Staff requirements: • Should be included within daily work
