Health Technology Assessment in Osteoporosis
Abstract We review the various aspects of health technology assessment in osteoporosis, including epidemiology and burden of disease, and assessment of the cost-effectiveness of recent advances in the treatment of osteoporosis and the prevention of fracture, in the...
Hospital-based health technology assessment for innovative medical devices in university hospitals and the role of hospital pharmacists: learning from international experience.
Abstract OBJECTIVES: Several models of hospital-based health technology assessment (HTA) have been developed worldwide, for the introduction of innovative medical devices and support evidence-based decision making in hospitals. Two such models, the HTA unit and...
Clinical studies of innovative medical devices: what level of evidence for hospital‐based health technology assessment?
Abstract Rationaleaims and objectives Like health technology assessment (HTA) agencies, hospitals are faced with requests for innovative and costly medical devices. However, local decision makers are frequently confronted with a lack of high‐quality clinical data when...
Introducing new technology safely
Abstract Aim This report considers the introduction of new technology and the implications for patient safety. Methods and discussion A distinction is made between ‘conceptually’ new and ‘contextually’ new technology. The life cycle of technology from development to...
Pre-market clinical evaluations of innovative high-risk medical devices in Europe
Objectives: High-quality clinical evidence is most often lacking when novel high-risk devices enter the European market. At the same time, a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is often initiated as a requirement for obtaining market access in the US. Should coverage in...
Multi-criteria decision analysis for health technology assessment in Canada: Insights from an expert panel discussion
Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), a decision-making tool, has received increasing attention in recent years, notably in the healthcare field. For Canada, it is unclear whether and how MCDA should be incorporated into the existing health technology assessment...
Medical device assessment: scientific evidence examined by the French national agency for health – a descriptive study
Background Scientific evidence supports decision-making on the use of implantable medical devices (IMDs) in clinical practice, but IMDs are thought to be far less investigated than drugs. In the USA, studies have shown that approval process of high-risk medical...
International survey of methods used in health technology assessment (HTA): does practice meet the principles proposed for good research?
Objective: To describe research methods used internationally in health technology assessment (HTA) and health-care reimbursement policies; compare the survey findings on research methods and processes to published HTA principles; and discuss important issues/trends...
Implementation of local/hospital-based health technology assessment initiatives in low- and middle-income countries
Objectives: The objective of this study is to review the implementation of health technology assessment (HTA) at the local and hospital levels in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). This review will provide a starting point for identifying the conditions for HTA...
Early stage Health Technology Assessment (HTA) of biomedical devices. The MATCH experience.
Early stage Health Technology Assessment (HTA) of biomedical devices requires different methods than those usually employed for pharmaceuticals. This paper re- views widely-used methods for HTA, discusses their limits for early stage evaluation of biomedical devices...
