health technology assessments

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a process that evaluates medical tools, treatments, and interventions to determine their effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness. It helps healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients make informed decisions about adopting new technologies or practices. HTA considers scientific evidence, clinical outcomes, and economic impacts to ensure that healthcare resources are used efficiently and that patients receive safe and effective care. Ultimately, it aims to improve health outcomes by supporting evidence-based choices in healthcare.
