Book excerpt: The WHO Regional Office for Europe convened a meeting for the description and discussion of experience with and the options for institutionalizing health technology assessment (HTA) in different countries and health systems. In this context, institutionalizing meant promoting structures and processes suitable to produce technology assessments that will be powerful in guiding policy and clinical practice towards the best possible health and cost outcomes. The meeting also explored ways of integrating HTA activities with initiatives for quality assurance (QA). The recommendations stressed the legal role of HTA in the health care system and called for the provision of sufficient resources; the integration of methods of HTA and QA; cooperation, communication and networking among HTA institutions in different settings and countries; training and education in HTA with emphasis on the implementation of results by empowering decision-makers; and the further development of HTA methods and processes.

Book excerpt: Contemporary healthcare governance involves determining whether and under what conditions access to interventions on the healthcare market can be granted. The accountability of these sensitive policy choices is grounded in the scientific knowledge practices they are informed by. Technology assessment has become an important mechanism of governance where scientific analysis advises policy-makers on the societal consequences associated with the uptake and application of technology. In the healthcare sector, health technology assessment (HTA) often takes the form of an expert-led multidisciplinary exercise that uses explicit methodologies to determine the added value of health technologies to national healthcare systems. The gradual institutionalisation of HTA – particularly in Europe – has led to recent legislation that promotes greater harmonisation and cross-national cooperation in assessment practice. As these efforts aim to consolidate scientific quality in HTA, they bring other questions to the surface. In a context where recognition of the diversity of knowledge has become increasingly prominent within institutional discourse, prior critiques of assessment practice have often landed on its privileging of specialist, disciplinary expertise in the determination of health technology’s value. Discussions in the field in parallel have focused on how HTA analysis can better address the complexities of health technologies in practice, through the inclusion of patients’ and technology users’ knowledge. This thesis is concerned with the challenge of how institutional assessments of health technologies can make room for different and incommensurate forms of knowledge, or, how to foster reflexivity within the science of HTA. These are not particularly new questions, yet they have persisted within both HTA and science and technology studies (STS) scholarship studying HTA.

Download or read book Health Technology Assessment and Health Policy-making in Europe written by Marcial Velasco Garrido and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2008 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies with the potential to improve the health of populations are continuously being introduced. But not every technological development results in clear health gains. Health technology assessment provides evidence-based information on the coverage and usage of health technologies, enabling them to be evaluated properly and applied to health care efficaciously, promoting the most effective ones while also taking into account organizational, societal and ethical issues. This book reviews the relationship between health technology assessment and policy-making, and examines how to increase the contribution such research makes to policy- and decision-making processes. By communicating the value and potential of health technology assessment to a wider audience, both within and beyond decision-making and health care management, it aims ultimately to contribute to improve the health status of the population through the delivery of optimum health services.

This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of deciding which health care technologies to evaluate is urgent. With new technologies proliferating alongside steadily increasing health care costs, it is critical to discriminate among technologies to direct tests and treatments at those who can benefit the most. Given the vast number of clinical problems and technologies to be evaluated, the many months of work required to study just one problem, and the relatively few clinicians with highly developed analytic skills, institutions must set priorities for assessment. This book sets forth criteria and a method that can be used by public agencies such as the Office of Health Technology Assessment (in the U.S. Public Health Service) and by any private organization conducting such work to decide which technologies to assess or reassess.

Download or read book Health Technology Assessment, Courts and the Right to Healthcare written by Daniel Wei Liang Wang and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both developing and developed countries face an increasing mismatch between what patients expect to receive from healthcare and what the public healthcare systems can afford to provide. Where there has been a growing recognition of the entitlement to receive healthcare, the frustrated expectations with regards to the level of provision has led to lawsuits challenging the denial of funding for health treatments by public health systems. This book analyses the impact of courts and litigation on the way health systems set priorities and make rationing decisions. In particular, it focuses on how the judicial protection of the right to healthcare can impact the institutionalization, functioning and centrality of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) for decisions about the funding of treatment. Based on the case study of three jurisdictions – Brazil, Colombia, and England – it shows that courts can be a key driver for the institutionalization of HTA. These case studies show the paradoxes of judicial control, which can promote accountability and impair it, demand administrative competence and undermine bureaucratic capacities. The case studies offer a nuanced and evidence-informed understanding of these paradoxes in the context of health care by showing how the judicial control of priority-setting decisions in health care can be used to require and control an explicit scheme for health technology assessment, but can also limit and circumvent it. It will be essential for those researching Medical Law and Healthcare Policy, Human Rights Law, and Social Rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about 24 developing countries that have embarked on the journey towards universal health coverage (UHC) following a bottom-up approach, with a special focus on the poor and vulnerable, through a systematic data collection that provides practical insights to policymakers and practitioners. Each of the UHC programs analyzed in this book is seeking to overcome the legacy of inequality by tackling both a “financing gap†? and a “provision gap†?: the financing gap (or lower per capita spending on the poor) by spending additional resources in a pro-poor way; the provision gap (or underperformance of service delivery for the poor) by expanding supply and changing incentives in a variety of ways. The prevailing view seems to indicate that UHC require not just more money, but also a focus on changing the rules of the game for spending health system resources. The book does not attempt to identify best practices, but rather aims to help policy makers understand the options they face, and help develop a new operational research agenda. The main chapters are focused on providing a granular understanding of policy design, while the appendixes offer a systematic review of the literature attempting to evaluate UHC program impact on access to services, on financial protection, and on health outcomes.

Download or read book Crossing the Global Quality Chasm written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2019-01-27 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015, building on the advances of the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals that include an explicit commitment to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. However, enormous gaps remain between what is achievable in human health and where global health stands today, and progress has been both incomplete and unevenly distributed. In order to meet this goal, a deliberate and comprehensive effort is needed to improve the quality of health care services globally. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Health Care Worldwide focuses on one particular shortfall in health care affecting global populations: defects in the quality of care. This study reviews the available evidence on the quality of care worldwide and makes recommendations to improve health care quality globally while expanding access to preventive and therapeutic services, with a focus in low-resource areas. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm emphasizes the organization and delivery of safe and effective care at the patient/provider interface. This study explores issues of access to services and commodities, effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and equity. Focusing on front line service delivery that can directly impact health outcomes for individuals and populations, this book will be an essential guide for key stakeholders, governments, donors, health systems, and others involved in health care.

This book was released on 2023-02-20 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence-informed policy-making (EIPM) is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and universal health coverage (UHC). While calls for institutionalizing EIDM have increased in recent years to sustain and mainstream efforts, there is a paucity of guidance that can be applied by Member States. The objective of this checklist is to: - prompt discussion and engagement with the concepts defining the institutionalization of EIPM; - support countries with tools for situation analysis and assessment of the evidence ecosystem;[1] - highlight the domains and core competencies, as well as processes that help to make evidence use routine in policy design, implementation and review, and - offer a list of key actions to consider when embedding EIPM in a local context and assessing progress over time. [1] Defined as “a system reflecting the formal and informal linkages and interactions between different actors (and their capacities and resources) involved in the production, translation, and use of evidence” (Stewart et al., 2019).
