Spanish National Health System changes for innovation, efficiency and patient service

Amidst the current health, social and economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and in a context conducive to reflection and debate with the creation of the Commission for the Social and Economic Recovery of Spain after Covid-19, CEFI has compiled a series of observations and/or proposals for change with the aim of contributing to Spain’s recovery.

CEFI believes that the future of the National Health System should be oriented towards:

• a collaborative model between all the players in the system
• a simplification of processes (reducing bureaucracy) to enable adaptation to current situations
• the promotion of digital tools and systems, as well as the use of available data,
• greater support and recognition for the innovative work carried out by biopharmaceutical companies
• the incorporation of mechanisms and solutions that guarantee rapid market access to medicinal products and innovative solutions for unmet medical needs.

These and other reflections are included in the CEFI Position Paper  Cambios en el Sistema Nacional de Salud en favor de la innovación, la eficiencia y el servicio a los pacientes [National Health System changes for innovation, efficiency and patient service].
