Abstract

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ( NICE) is taken for the typical success in u-sing health technology assessment to control cost increase. For other countries in a budget constrained context, this health technology assessment process and knowledge translation mechanism might be of significant implications. The objective of this paper is to provide some hints of knowledge translation to evidence-based decision making by sharing the experience from the NICE health technology assessment.
