The Technology Assessment Act

The Technology Assessment Act is legislation that encourages systematic evaluation of new medical technologies and procedures before they are widely adopted. Its goal is to ensure that healthcare innovations are safe, effective, and provide value for patients and the healthcare system. By conducting thorough assessments, the Act helps policymakers, providers, and patients make informed decisions about adopting new technologies, balancing benefits, risks, and costs. This process promotes responsible innovation, avoids unnecessary expenses, and enhances overall healthcare quality by integrating evidence-based information into decision-making.
