Global & Regional Health Technology Assessment
Scope & Guideline
Navigating the future of health technology together.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Health Technology Evaluation:
The journal aims to provide comprehensive evaluations of various health technologies, including pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and diagnostic tools, focusing on their clinical efficacy, safety, and cost-effectiveness. - Economic Impact Analysis:
It emphasizes the importance of economic evaluations, including cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses, to assess the financial implications of health interventions on healthcare systems. - Real-World Evidence:
The journal prioritizes studies that utilize real-world data to evaluate health technologies, thereby informing clinical practice and healthcare decision-making with practical insights. - Policy Recommendations:
It aims to influence health policy by providing evidence-based recommendations for the pricing, reimbursement, and regulation of health technologies. - Patient-Centered Outcomes:
The journal also focuses on the assessment of patient-reported outcomes and their significance in evaluating the impact of health technologies on patient quality of life.
Trending and Emerging
- Patient-Centered Approaches:
There is an increasing emphasis on incorporating patient-reported outcomes and experiences into health technology assessments, reflecting a broader trend towards patient-centered care. - Real-World Data Utilization:
The use of real-world data for evaluating the effectiveness and economic impact of health technologies is becoming more prevalent, indicating a shift towards evidence that reflects actual clinical practice. - Innovative Pricing and Reimbursement Models:
Emerging discussions around innovative pricing strategies and reimbursement models for new therapies highlight the need for adaptive approaches in light of evolving healthcare landscapes. - Impact of COVID-19 on HTA:
The journal is increasingly addressing the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on health technology assessments, including changes in regulatory processes and the prioritization of certain health technologies. - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA):
The application of multicriteria decision analysis in health technology assessment is gaining attention, providing a structured approach to evaluate complex decisions involving multiple stakeholders.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Clinical Trials:
There is a noticeable decline in the focus on traditional randomized controlled trials as the primary method for evaluating health technologies, with a growing preference for real-world evidence. - General Health Economics:
The broader field of health economics, while still relevant, seems to be overshadowed by more focused analyses such as cost-effectiveness and budget impact specific to particular diseases or therapies. - Regulatory Frameworks:
Discussions centered around the regulatory frameworks for HTA processes have decreased, indicating a potential shift towards more practical applications and outcomes of HTA rather than the processes themselves.
