Given the chaotic scene that the Public Health in Brazil is passing through, technological assessment becomes the best way to expend the financial resources that are progressively more scant. It is not enough to know the benefits of the use of a technology, it is necessary to plan and assure that financial resources allotted to public health be used without detriment of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>equality, universal principles and integrity of SUS. The nursing professional must be interested in caring out and participating in researches in this area, in a universe of interdisciplinary performance, still little explored.</span>
