Master the basics of health technology assessment (HTA) for informed decision-making

This introductory course is designed to teach academic researchers, health policy decision makers, manufacturers, and clinicians about the key elements, methods, and language of health technology assessment (HTA). The course provides an overview of basic HTA principles including benefit assessment (biostatistics, clinical epidemiology, patient-relevant outcomes, risk-benefit assessment), economic evaluation (costing, cost-effectiveness analysis, pharmacoeconomic modeling, budget impact analysis, resource allocation), and ELSI (ethical, legal, and social implications).

Technical topics include:

• Overview of basic HTA principles and methodologies.

• Benefit assessment: biostatistics, clinical epidemiology, and risk-benefit evaluation.

• Economic evaluation: cost-effectiveness analysis, budget impact analysis, and resource allocation.

• Ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) in HTA.

• Practical steps for developing and using HTA reports across countries and healthcare systems.

This course includes tools and concepts that can be immediately applied, including:

• Real-world examples covering both drugs and devices to illustrate HTA principles.

• Practical steps for implementing HTA in healthcare decision-making.

• Discussions focusing on stakeholder perspectives and the application of HTA reports.

This course is suitable for those with little or no experience with HTA, providing foundational knowledge and skills for further exploration.
