Hospital-Based HTA
Overview
The Hospital-Based HTA (HB-HTA) Interest Group was established to provide an area for members of HTAi who are developers and users of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) in hospital settings to share information, insights and work on collaborative projects. This group is also open to all members of HTAi with an interest in HTA in a hospital setting.
The group gathers professionals interested or involved in the use of an HTA logic at health care institutions for supporting both managerial and clinical decision-making processes. It aims to provide a space for sharing information and insights, proposing and discussing best practices and methodologies, and working on collaborative projects.
