Adelaide Health Technology Assessment
Adelaide Health Technology Assessment conducts systematic reviews
on public health and medical procedures or guidelines to provide a
rational basis for health care decision-making.
Adelaide Health Technology Assessment (AHTA) Unit is located within the
Discipline of Public Health, University of Adelaide and has a track
record in:
|
Identifying and appraising the effectiveness of health services using evidence-based methodologies
Conducting systematic literature reviews on a wide range of health care topics
Developing evidence-based guidelines for clinical practice and program implementation
Collaborating with representatives of appropriate clinical specialties as well as policy-makers in the production of reports
Producing high quality reports, publications and other forms of media for varied audiences.
AHTA staff have extensive experience performing evidence-based
assessments on a wide range of healthcare technologies, procedures and
services. Specific processes have been developed to conduct systematic
literature reviews that utilise best-practice methodologies. These are
featured in our contractual work for the Department of Health and
Ageing, on behalf of the Medical Services Advisory Committee (MSAC),
the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC); the National
Institute of Clinical Studies (NICS); and the National Health and
Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The primary focus of our systematic
reviews is to integrate and synthesise empirical research to provide a
rational basis for health care decision-making including determinations
of safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness that impact on health
resource allocation and health service delivery. In addition, AHTA
conducts Horizon Scanning on new and emerging health
technologies/procedures and writes brief appraisals of these on behalf
of the Health Policy Advisory Committee on Technology which reports to
the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Council, and the Medical
Services Advisory Committee. Horizon scanning provides early warning to
policy makers of particular technologies that are emerging and may have
a significant impact on the health system at a national and
jurisdictional level.
