Health technologies assessment
Keywords:
EVALUATION OF BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, URUGUAY
Abstract
Health technologies assessment is an increasingly important issue in health systems. This review looked at concepts, methods, components and trends related to this area. The main aim was to enhance results of assessments at diverse levels: policy making, health management and medical practice. Health technologies assessment has become a speciality in the health field.
The purpose of the assessment currently tends to integrate not only drugs and medical equipment but also prevention, procedures and health organization. Assessment involves new generation of advanced technology as well as the currently used since effectiveness and adverse effects may be evaluated.
