Thanks to research and innovation, new technologies are continuously being introduced in the healthcare setting. The evaluation of the efficacy, effectiveness benefits and costs of a new technology is a challenge for health systems, since its application may not produce the expected benefits, may require additional resources or may need the redistribution of existing resources. ‘Health Technology Assessment (HTA)’ provides decision-makers with evidence-based information to evaluate and decide on the coverage and usage of health technologies.
This book describes the fundamental aspects of HTA, summarizes the evaluation tools and examines the effects of HTA on health systems. The purpose is to increase the awareness of HTA activities to a wide public: not only decision-makers and healthcare managers, but also clinicians.
