The abstracts in the database are descriptive rather than analytical and do not form critical appraisals of the reports. The database is produced in collaboration with the INAHTA Secretariat, based at SBU, Sweden.

What is health technology assessment? Health care technology is defined as prevention and rehabilitation, vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and devices, medical and surgical procedures, and the systems within which health is protected and maintained. Technology assessment studies the medical, social, ethical and economic implications of development, diffusion, and the use of health technology and informs policy decisions. Its aim is to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of healthcare.
