Description: Health technology assessment is the systematic evaluation of the properties and effects of health technologies. This process involves a thorough analysis aimed at determining the effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of technologies used in the healthcare field. The assessment not only focuses on medical devices but also encompasses software, procedures, and organizational systems that impact healthcare delivery. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, data is collected that allows healthcare professionals and policymakers to make informed decisions about the adoption and use of new technologies. Health technology assessment is crucial to ensure that innovations genuinely improve the quality of care and optimize available resources in the healthcare system. Additionally, it promotes transparency and accountability in the implementation of new technologies, ensuring they align with patient needs and public health goals.
