Citation Guthrie S, Bienkowska-Gibbs T, Manville C, Pollitt A, Kirtley A, Wooding S. The impact of the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment programme, 2003–13: a multimethod evaluation. Health Technology Assessment 2015; 19(67) Authors' objectives This study reviewed the impact of the NIHR HTA programme from 2003 to 2013. It considered a broad range of impacts, spanning academic, health policy, clinical practice, health and economic outcomes. Although the study's approach was largely retrospective, reviewing impact from 2003 to 2013, it also included a forward-looking component, which considered how the HTA could increase its impact in the future. Authors' conclusions The HTA programme has had impacts on patients, health policy, clinical practice, the research system and industry and the economy. These impacts stem from the quality of the research, the focus on NHS priorities, good governance and close relationships with key policy stakeholders. To maintain or increase this level of impact, the HTA programme could facilitate wider uptake by providing targeted funding for dissemination, and additional cost analysis. Maintaining and building on existing relationships within academia and the policy community could also play a role, as well as increased monitoring and transparency around important processes such as PPI and priority setting.
In a changing landscape, the programme needs to maintain its ability to change and adapt, while still delivering its mission to 'ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most effective way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS' Indexing Status Subject indexing assigned by CRD MeSH Great Britains; Health Impact Assessment; National Health Programs; Research Support as Topic; Technology Assessment, Biomedical Language Published English Country of organisation England English summary An English language summary is available.
