Regulation Around the World: Open Finance
In this issue of Regulation Around the World we look at how regulators are developing their proposals for Open Finance.
The Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care recently updated the Ontario Guidelines for Drug Submission and Evaluation (“Guidelines”). These Guidelines govern drug submissions for inclusion on the Ontario Drug Benefit Formulary or for listing as an interchangeable drug.
Despite various amendments to the regulations under the Ontario Drug Benefit Act and the Drug Interchangeability and Dispensing Fee Act (“Regulations”), this is the first time the Guidelines have been updated since 2000.
The Guidelines provide practical information and guidance to manufacturers making drug submissions to the province of Ontario in order to have drug products listed on the Ontario Drug Benefit Formulary or as interchangeable products under the Drug Interchangeability and Dispensing Fee Act.

The Guidelines can be found at the link below and include an executive summary of these changes.
