Health technology assessment (HTA) is consolidated as a scientific and technological practice. The aim of this study is to identify HTA organizations from different settings and analyze their relevant dimensions in terms of effectiveness/impact, in order to address the challenges they face in Brazil. Narrative literature review based on data and websites of HTA organizations. There are well-established activity development processes in all organizations. These activities have specific features in their profile, in the process of technology assessment, decision and implementation of technologies that influence their potential impact on health systems. Agencies share in common the challenges of ranking the technologies to be assessed, and the implementation of their recommendations. Technical and political strengthening of the institutionalization of HTA in Brazil may foster scientific, technological and innovation policies, effectively impacting health policies.

“…For the quality assessment of the included literature, medical and epidemiological studies were assessed on the basis of checklists provided by the German Scientific Working Group Technology Assessment for Health Care [3]. In addition, in order to evaluate the evidence in medical and epidemiological publications, the classification developed by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) Grading Review Group was used [4].…”

Health Care Cost Containment Strategies Used In Four Other High-Income Countries Hold Lessons For The United States

et al. 2013

Around the world, rising health care costs are claiming a larger share of national budgets. This article reviews strategies developed to contain costs in health systems in Canada, England, France, and Germany in 2000-10. We used a comprehensive analysis of health systems and reforms in each country, compiled by the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies. These countries rely on a number of budget and price-setting mechanisms to contain health care costs. Our review revealed trends in all four countries toward more use of technology assessments and payment based on diagnosis-related groups and the value of products or services. These policies may result in a more efficient use of health care resources, but we argue that they need to be combined with volume and price controls-measures unlikely to be adopted in the United States-if they are also to meet cost containment goals. T he past decade saw a considerable increase in health care spending in many high-income nations. Despite efforts to contain health care costs, the most recent data from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development show that average per capita spending on health among member countries increased by more than 70 percent between 2000 and 2010.
