Information derived from Health Technology Assessment (HTA) reports is increasingly used for decision-making in healthcare. The production of HTA reports requires well-qualified interdisciplinarily working specialists who are not yet available in sufficient number. The German HTA Society and the German Network for Evidence Based Medicine have now developed an HTA curriculum which may serve as a basis for training courses for users of HTA information as well as HTA authors. Structure and content of the curriculum were inspired by internationally established training courses. However, the specific aspects of technology regulation and decision-making in the healthcare systems of German-speaking countries are emphasised. The curriculum is subdivided into a total of 11 modules. These include principles of HTA, status and regulation of technologies, priority setting, management of knowledge and information, methods of conducting HTA reports and project management. In the next step, the application of the curriculum into an Internet-based training course is planned.
源自卫生技术评估(HTA)报告的信息在医疗保健决策中得到越来越多的应用。HTA报告的撰写需要具备良好资质的跨学科合作专家,而目前这类专家的数量还不够充足。德国卫生技术评估协会和德国循证医学网络现已开发出一门HTA课程,可为HTA信息使用者以及HTA报告撰写者的培训课程提供基础。该课程的结构和内容受到国际公认的培训课程的启发。不过,德语国家医疗保健系统中技术监管和决策的具体方面得到了强调。该课程共分为11个模块。这些模块包括HTA的原则、技术的现状与监管、优先级设定、知识与信息管理、撰写HTA报告的方法以及项目管理。下一步计划将该课程应用于基于互联网的培训课程。
