A branch of HTA that specifically focuses on the safety and clinical effectiveness of complex medical devices and drugs.

The process of managing the implementation and use of medical technologies in a healthcare system.

A process where experts review data on the effectiveness of a treatment or technology to see if it is beneficial and worth the cost.

Hospitals often make independent choices about what new technologies to adopt. This decision-making process can benefit from HTA, which can help hospitals assess the true value of new technologies.

Hospitals are responsible for implementing and using new technologies safely and effectively. This includes training staff, maintaining the equipment, and ensuring the technology is used appropriately.

HTA can be beneficial not just at the national level, but also at regional levels, where healthcare systems may operate with some autonomy in acquiring and using new technology.

HTA can be used to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of new technologies at the hospital level, which can help hospital administrators make informed decisions about technology adoption.

HTA, to be truly effective, needs to consider how health systems are structured, especially when it comes to their administration.

A new idea or creation can be categorized by its type, its relevance to different groups, and how novel it is.

WHO Collaborating Centres, established by WHO, act as specialized units within health organizations, focusing on specific health areas like nursing, infectious diseases, or chronic illnesses.

The goal of WHO's health strategy is to combine research and health technology assessment to achieve better health outcomes.

The process of evaluating health technologies involves examining and assessing the products used to improve or manage health conditions.

Improving cooperation with WHO and ensuring technology reaches developing countries are critical for global health advancements.
