Episode 58

Health Technology Assessment (HTA)

Join our guest Dr Martin Kaiser and host Dr Nathalie van Havre, as they talk about Heath Technology Assessment (HTA) in hematology and in Europe’s public healthcare landscape.

Our speakers discuss the relevance of HTA for hematologists and how it aims to standardize access to new health technologies for patients across Europe. Furthermore, they examine the challenges in generating solid evidence to support these assessments, particularly in the case of rare diseases, and whether HTAs are likely to cause new delays for new health technologies to reach the patients.

Next, the social and economic implications of HTA are discussed, in particular costs, limited resources, and equality in access to treatment. Dr Kaiser concludes this podcast by emphasizing the importance of HTA education and awareness in medical education.
