Brief summary
2018 Revision of Health Reimbursement in Japan recognized non face-to-face diagnostics, such as Online Treatment, as the standard of care. There was a significantly additional cost for Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) Management Fee as well. The adaption of Remote Monitoring for CIEDs patients is recommended by the societies based on the clinical evidences. However, how QALYs earned by CIEDs Remote Monitoring are justified in Japanese reimbursement environment from the cost-effectiveness standpoint is still not so clear. The evaluation about the impact on the health economics about the installation of CIEDs Remote Monitoring has not been enough due to the lack of the researches around this field. Therefore this research is designed to examine the impact of the installation of CIEDs Remote Monitoring from the health economics perspective by considering the health insurance system and the clinical process in Japan, through Systematic Review methodology.
