“…Cada dominio se divide en una serie de preguntas genéricas, que son los elementos de evaluación del modelo. Cuando se utiliza el modelo, las preguntas genéricas se transforman en verdaderas preguntas de investigación relacionadas con el tema, de esta forma se han desarrollado dos aplicaciones del modelo Core, una para las intervenciones médicas y quirúrgicas y otra para las tecnologías de diagnóstico 36 .…”

La evaluación de nuevas tecnologías en salud en hospitales: revisión narrativaAssessment of new health technology in hospitals: Narrative review / A avaliação de novas tecnologias em saúde em hospitais: revisão narrativa Juan Guillermo Barrientos Gómez 1 , Andrés Eduardo Marín Castro 2 , Laura Becerra Ruiz 3 , María Alejandra Tobón Arango 3 RESUMEN La rápida evolución de la tecnología y con ella la de los diferentes métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos ha traído consigo un creciente interés por los profesionales de la salud en disponer de los últimos avances y las mejores tecnologías para atender a los pacientes puesto que, a través de estos recursos, se espera reducir la incertidumbre clínica en cuanto a los diagnósticos y tratamientos. Se reconoce que los avances tecnológicos son, en parte, responsables de mejorar la salud de las comunidades y, en consecuencia, de aumentar la expectativa de vida de la población. Sin embargo, el gran número de innovaciones emergentes hace pensar que debe haber un proceso de selección apropiado por parte de los sistemas de salud para garantizar que se logren en la práctica los beneficios y los propósitos planteados. La selección de las nuevas tecnologías debe incluir tanto el análisis de la tecnología en sí como la comparación con otras; este proceso se denomina Evaluación de tecnologías en salud y tiene un enfoque principalmente macro, es decir, desde agencias de evaluación de carácter nacional que evalúan con el objetivo de regular las inclusiones de tecnologías en los sistemas de salud en Colombia. Se trata de un Plan de beneficios; sin embargo, la disponibilidad de las nuevas tecnologías está en las instituciones de salud e implica una evaluación que regule las tecnologías en este nivel. Internacionalmente esto se reconoce como Evaluación de tecnologías basada en hospitales. Este artículo hace una descripción de las evaluaciones de tecnologías, pero con énfasis en metodologías hospitalarias. Palabras clave: administración hospitalaria; evaluación en salud; evaluación de tecnología biomédica; toma de decisiones. ABSTRACTThe rapid evolution of technology and subsequent growth of diagnostic and therapeutic methods has brought about a growing interest in health professionals for having the latest and best technologies to serve patients as these resources are expected to reduce clinical uncertainty regarding diagnosis and treatment. Technological advances are acknowledged in part as being responsible for the improvement in the health of communities and the increase in life expectancy of the population. However, the large number of emerging innovations suggests that health systems must implement an appropriate selection process to ensure that the benefits and objectives are in fact achieved. The selection process of new technologies should include both the analysis of the technology itself as well as how it compares to others. This process is known as health technology assessment. These evaluations focus on the macro level, mainly from national assessment agencies, which evaluate w...

“…In a recent paper, Schnell-Inderst et al [10] described some efforts, at European level, directed toward the transferability of current HTA methods and processes, to medical devices -the projects described in the paper were all funded by the European Union Framework Programme 7. This complex issue should be of great interest as HTA methods developed until now mainly addressed pharmaceuticals and were tailored on them.…”

“…We are then talking about something that is 'new'. Schnell-Inderst et al mentioned that 'there is a lack of precise interpretation of the term "new"' [10]. At this point, it is necessary to leave the field of 'classic HTA' and move where the early awareness and alert (EAA) systems operate.…”

“…Health Technology Assessment (HTA), defined as the systematic evaluation of the properties and effects of a health technology, addressing the direct and intended effects of this technology, as well as its indirect and unintended consequences, and aimed mainly at informing decision making regarding health technologies [1], is nowadays well-known across many regions of the world [2,3] due to its capacity of providing valuable elements for decision-making at different levels. At European level, the investment into the development of shared methodological frameworks for HTA and the transfer of its outputs to local contexts has been of great magnitude, from the many projects funded by the European Union Framework Programme 7 (FP7) [4] to the extensive EUnetHTA collaboration, started in 2006 and being currently ongoing with its third Joint Action (JA3), which is supposed to end in 2020 [5].…”
