Abstract:
Germany has a similar health insurance system as China, and has already formed standardized management processes as well as efficient decision-making transformation paths for health technology assessment (HTA) that perform well mainly based on three major HTA institutions at the national level.The HTA decision-making transformation system in Germany has proven to be a typical representative in evidence-based decision-making for health policies worldwide.Based on the outcomes of literature analysis and field research, this paper summarizes the paths and methods of Germany's HTA decision-making transformation, and finally proposes several targeted policy recommendations to promote the HTA decision-making transformation in China.
