“Develop an explicit qualitative value framework”: implications of this HTA review option”.
Speakers: Dr Drew Carter (Research Fellow in Ethics, AHTA), Dr David Thomson (Head of Government Affairs, Policy and Advocacy at Amgen RMRC – Regional Medical Research Centre Bhubaneswar, Odisha) and David Tamblyn (Manager, AHTA).
Our health systems are facing many challenges: disruptive technologies, integration of digital capabilities into healthcare, and environmental concerns such as energy consumption and waste.
We, as experts in health technology assessment, must understand these issues and find a way to develop approaches to address these challenges, so that we can help policy makers make informed choices about health technology regulation, reimbursement and disinvestment. That’s why we have created hOurHTA.
