Understanding how private insurance companies and publicly funded health systems decide which health technologies to pay for and how much they are willing to pay for them is a critical part of a successful commercialization strategy. Health Technology Assessment (or HTA) is an evaluation process that provides payers with recommendations on when, and at what price, a technology should be made available to a given patient population.

This webinar will provide an overview of HTA, including explanations of key concepts like economic evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios and quality-adjusted life years.

Following the webinar, participants will be able to explain how and why health systems use HTA, describe the assumptions and evidence necessary to quantify the value-for-money of a new health technology, and define a set of key HTA concepts.
