This article describes criteria used by several organizations to select technologies for assessment and the factors that are common to most lists of criteria. It presents a framework or model (called TAPSS) that relates the most important factors. The model can be used to estimate the expected impact of an assessment on health and economic outcomes for a population. It incorporates information on such factors as the health and economic importance of the disease addressed by the technology, the expected impact of the technology on health and economic outcomes, variations in the technology's current use, and factors affecting the production and reception of an assessment. The article includes an example of an application of the method--screening for maple syrup urine disease.
本文介绍了多个组织用于选择技术进行评估的标准以及大多数标准清单中常见的因素。它提出了一个关联最重要因素的框架或模型（称为TAPSS）。该模型可用于估计评估对人群健康和经济结果的预期影响。它纳入了诸如该技术所针对疾病的健康和经济重要性、该技术对健康和经济结果的预期影响、该技术当前使用情况的变化以及影响评估产生和接受的因素等信息。本文还包括该方法应用的一个例子——枫糖尿症筛查。
