International Development of HTA
Our Department has
been an active partner in the international HTA community for
years.
The 18th Conference of the International Society of
Technology Assessment in Health Care (former ISTAHC, today HTAi
[1]) was held in Berlin in June 2002 under the scientific direction
and organisational oversight of Professor Busse.
Professor
Busse chaired the working group on Best practice in undertaking and reporting HTA [2]
within the European
Collaboration for Health Technology Assessment (ECHTA/ECAHI,
1999-2001) [3], a network project aiming at developing HTA
methodology and at disseminating the philosophy of evidence based
decision making.
Our Department has contributed
significantly to the European
Network for HTA (EUnetHTA, 2006-2008 [4]), a project funded by
the EU. One major output of this project was a study on the role of
HTA in Europe [5], lead by our Dept. and produced in cooperation with
the European Observatory on
Health Systems and Policies. Our staff was also actively involved
in the development of the HTA Core Model [6]
– a kind of methodological standards for the production of HTA –
as well as in the development of an Adaptation
Toolkit [7] – a tool to facilitate the use of HTA information
across countries. The results of the EUnetHTA Project will be
published in the International Journal for Health Technology Assessment in
Health Care [8]. A permanent and sustainable network on HTA the
EUnetHTA Collaboration is developing as a result of the project.
In addition, our Department has been consulted by the WHO on
issues several times regarding HTA.
