Horizon scanning is a method for identifying and monitoring interventions and innovations that have potential to impact clinical care, patient outcomes and the broader health care system. Dedicated horizon scanning programs focused on American and international markets function as publicly available tools useful for setting research agendas; planning regulatory and coverage/payment decisions; and providing early alerts to patients, clinicians, and health technology assessors. In this forum, representatives from American- and European-based horizon scanning efforts will demonstrate how both hits (early captured innovations with major impacts) and misses (e.g., non-identified interventions, non-impactful interventions), and the broader horizon scanning system methodology can provide a useful view of emerging technologies and the future health care landscape.

Learning Objectives

Identify horizon scanning resources and findings; Describe uses for horizon scanning findings by research funders, technology assessment organizations and coverage/payer groups; Describe the use of horizon scanning for understanding the larger landscape of innovation in a variety of clinical areas.
