Definition of HTA

Health technology assessment (HTA) is the process of systematically reviewing existing evidence and models to evaluate the effectiveness, appropriateness, benefit and cost of a medical technology.

• How well does/will the technology work in my healthcare system? • Which patients will get the most benefit? • At what total cost? • How does it compare to alternative treatments? •

What changes are required to treatment pathways, if we were to implement this?
