Abstract:
To understand the development status and provide the basis for the construction and development of health technology assessment (HTA) institutions/organizations in China, this paper systematically reviewed the status of international HTA institutions/organizations and the HTA institutions/organizations in western developed countries and some Asian countries. This study was based on the results of the second round of global survey on HTA conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020/2021. The websites of WHO, International HTA Database (INAHTA), international HTA institutions/organizations, and the HTA institutions/organizations in different countries were searched. After data extraction and classification, we summarized the status of 9 international HTA institutions/organizations (including Decide: Health Decision Hub, Health Technology Assessment International, HTAsiaLink, International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment, European Network for Health Technology Assessment, Health Technology Assessment Network of the Americas, International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, Southern African Health Technology Assessment Society, International Information Network on New and Emerging Health Technologies), 11 HTA institutions/organizations in western developed countries and Asian countries (including Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, the United States, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, and Thailand), and 6 HTA organizations/teams in China. The use of HTA varies greatly because of different medical and health systems among different countries, and thus the role of HTA in health decision-making varies among different countries. The international HTA institutions/organizations have greatly strengthened the communication between HTA institutions/organizations and the pharmaceutical industry and facilitated the promotion and practice of evidence-based health decision-making.
