Should HTA look beyond the healthcare system?

Grace Hampson is joined by Chris Skedgel, a Director at OHE, to dig into one of health economics’ most contested methodological debates: what are health systems trying to achieve through health technology assessments (HTA)? And whose perspective should they adopt in doing so? 

They’ll discuss: 

• Why health technology assessment has traditionally focused on patient health and healthcare costs — and whether that’s still fit for purpose  

• The case for including carer impacts, value of time, and productivity in assessments of value  

• The biggest arguments against a societal perspective in HTA— and how to respond to them  

• What the recent HEMA report got right, and where it may have been too cautious
