HTA Core Model
The HTA Core Model is a structured template designed to support the creation of health technology assessments (HTAs) by organizing information in a consistent way. It helps different groups work together by using a common format.
At a glance
Use when
Developing national or multi-organizational HTA reports where collaboration and information sharing are important
Avoid when
Working on highly specialized or niche assessments where a flexible, non-standardized approach is preferred
Inputs
Health technology assessment data, including evidence on clinical effectiveness, costs, safety, organizational impact, and patient perspectives
Outputs
Structured HTA reports using a common format that supports collaboration and information sharing across organizations
How it works
The HTA Core Model provides a standardized framework for conducting and reporting health technology assessments. It was tested in two pilot projects to evaluate its structure, applicability, and potential for enabling collaboration across HTA organizations. The model supports systematic data collection, scoping, and reporting across multiple domains relevant to HTA.
- HTA domains
- Clinical Effectiveness, Costs & Economic Evaluation, Patient and Social Aspects
- Assumptions
- A standardized structure improves consistency and collaboration in HTA production; clear scoping and coordination enhance efficiency
- Strengths
- Promotes collaboration, reduces duplication of work, supports comprehensive and consistent reporting across multiple HTA domains
- Limitations
- Requires clear coordination and scoping to be effective; may need further development for broader applicability
- Also known as
- HTA CM
