Moreover, local affiliates may become an important point of influence for โhealth technology developersโ (HTDs) in the PICO process.
Involvement of the HTD in the scoping and PICO creation process, as currently drafted, is very limited.
If this set-up prevails local impact will become very important.
Nordic affiliates can educate local stakeholders which will probably be consulted by the HTA agencies when drafting their PICO suggestions.

Thus, there will be a large chunk of work left to be done for a local submission in the Nordics.

Once those teams are established they may take on other tasks such as adapting the CE models to local markets.
As anyone working with JCA knows these are educated guesses, they may be true for some but not for all pharmaceutical companies – leave your own thoughts below!
