Patient Involvement in Value and Health Technology Assessment (V/HTA)

Oct 2024

Patient involvement in HTA and broader value assessment is an essential aspect of promoting patient-centered decision-making in healthcare. Historically, patient involvement in these processes has been limited, leading to decisions that may not fully consider patient perspectives, preferences, and values. However, without offering any recognizable value to patients, health technologies may fail to generate value in the healthcare system. Therefore, the objective of this webinar is to emphasize the significance of patient involvement in HTA and broader value assessment and to delve into the challenges associated with it, while also presenting potential solutions.
