Health Technology Assessment: Choosing Which Treatments Get Funded

Explore the decision-making process behind healthcare technology assessment

What topics will you cover?

We’ll look at some of the key processes of HTA in order to answer some key questions about a new treatment, such as:

• How do we know if the treatment is of benefit?
• How can we make sense of all the evidence?
• How is evidence of the cost of drugs used in HTA?

We’ll also explore how the final HTA report fits within the wider range of information used to make decisions about which treatments to fund.
