How can HTA agencies at national level consider societal benefits as an integral element of their HTA core models which positively contribute not only to realisation of better health outcomes for EU citizens, but also to a smart sustainable economy?
Through its research programme on health technology assessment (HTA), Epposi has been working with its members (patients’ organisations, science and industry) and involved stakeholders, ranging from payers, policy makers to HTA agencies and ethicists, to build a societal benefits approach to HTA.
A special one day multi-stakeholder workshop will present and discuss:
Epposi’s taxonomy for societal benefits approach to HTA
The outcomes of the application of Epposi’s taxonomy for societal benefits approach to HTA to selected case studies in 4 European countries
Epposi’ framework for societal benefits approach to HTA
Validation and consensus-building activities to reshape the final framework and help develop an implementation framework at national and regional level
The latest perspectives on the definition and understanding of societal benefits and societal values in Europe
