The aim of this study was to develop a guide to identifying and managing risks for health technology assessment (HTA) programs and to obtain opinions on this topic from HTA agencies.
The risks and approaches to their management were compiled, drawing on experiences from HTA programs and the risk assessment literature. Opinion on this classification was obtained from members of the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA).
Twenty-one risks for HTA programs were identified under the categories Formulation of HTA Questions, Preparation of the HTA Product, Dissemination, and Contracting. For each risk area, potential consequences and suggested management approaches were outlined. Responses from ten HTA programs indicated substantial agreement regarding the risks that had been identified and on the importance of risk management for their own operations.
Prudent management of HTA programs should take into account the risks related to external factors.
本研究的目的是制定一份识别和管理卫生技术评估（HTA）项目风险的指南，并征求HTA机构对该主题的意见。
借鉴HTA项目的经验和风险评估文献，汇编风险及其管理方法。从国际卫生技术评估机构网络（INAHTA）的成员那里获得了对这一分类的意见。
在HTA问题的制定、HTA产品的准备、传播和签约等类别下，确定了21个HTA项目风险。针对每个风险领域，概述了潜在后果和建议的管理方法。来自10个HTA项目的回复表明，对于已识别的风险以及风险管理对其自身运作的重要性，存在广泛共识。
对HTA项目进行审慎管理应考虑与外部因素相关的风险。
