Development of HTA in the Healthcare Insurance Systems of Developed Countries and Its Implications for China
This article provides an in-depth exploration of the development of health technology assessment(HTA)in the healthcare systems of the United Kingdom,the United States,France,Germany,Sweden,and Canada.HTA,as a critical tool for enhancing scientific,economic,and equitable aspects of medical decision-making,has been widely adopted in these nations.The practice in these countries demonstrates the significance of comprehensive assessment methods,multi-stakeholder participation,balancing the roles of the public and private sectors,local autonomy,and an emphasis on clinical and cost-effectiveness.As one of the most populous countries in the world,China faces challenges such as limited healthcare resources and increasing medical insurance expenditures.Learning from and adapting the HTA experience of these countries could enhance the quality of medical decision-making in China's medical insurance sector,promoting fairness and sustainable development in the entire system.This paper provides policymakers,researchers,and practitioners in China's healthcare sector with deep insights into international best practice,offering valuable references for the academic and policy-making communities both domestically and internationally.
