Health technologies, medical and surgical procedures assessment reports
The assessment report is based on a critical analysis of the available literature in conjunction with gathered expert and/or stakeholder opinion.
Assessment method
The method for assessing health technologies includes the following:
- topic scoping;
- systematic literature search;
- critical analysis and summary of available literature;
- conducting working groups and/or individual hearings to gather expert and/or stakeholder opinion (professionals and patient representatives).
Based on this work, an assessment report is drafted by the Department for the Evaluation of Medical Procedures (SEAP). The report is then reviewed by an HAS Committee (CNEDiMTS or CEESP), and further approved by the HAS Board before publication onto the HAS website.
