EARLY HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES ASSESSMENT — NEW APPROACH TO IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Abstract

Early health technologies assessment (HTA) is a form of HTA, which takes place at early stages of the life cycle of medical technology. This method allows us to optimize the design of clinical trials to prove the economic benefits of new technologies, to assess the need for follow-up phases of clinical trials, to predict the probability of formulary inclusion, and to define socially acceptable price.
