Abstract
Health technology assessment (HTA) is a process by which the worth of a new health care technology is described, principally by gathering, collating, and synthesizing evidence. This synthesis is then used to determine whether the technology should be adopted. The HTA process is linked to national and international regulatory systems that approve health technologies for routine clinical use.
