Health Technology Assessment
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a systematic process that evaluates the properties and impacts of health technologies, including medical devices, procedures, and pharmaceuticals. The goal of HTA is to inform decision-makers about the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and broader implications of these technologies in healthcare.
HTA involves gathering and analyzing data from various sources, including clinical studies and economic evaluations. This information helps healthcare providers, policymakers, and payers make informed choices about which technologies to adopt, ensuring that resources are used efficiently and that patients receive the best possible care.
