HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS,...

Strengthening the Status of Psychotherapy for Personality Disorders: An Integrated Perspective on Effects and Costs

“…54 The review team did an excellent job in performing separate economic evaluations for the 6 randomized controlled trials identified in their review of published studies. Costeffectiveness was assessed in terms of costs per avoided parasuicide event (in all 6 trials) and costs per Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) 55 (in 4 of the 6 trials).…”
