Health technologies are becoming increasingly complex and contemporary health technology assessment (HTA) is only partly equipped to address this complexity. The project "Integrated assessments of complex health technologies" (INTEGRATE-HTA), funded by the European Commission, was initiated with the overall objective to develop concepts and methods to enable patient-centered, integrated assessments of the effectiveness, and the economic, social, cultural, and ethical issues of complex technologies that take context and implementation issues into account. The project resulted in a series of guidances that should support the work of HTA scientists and decision makers alike.
医疗技术变得越来越复杂，当代的健康技术评估（HTA）在一定程度上只能解决这种复杂性。由欧盟委员会资助的“复杂健康技术综合评估”（INTEGRATE-HTA）项目启动，其总体目标是开发概念和方法，以实现以患者为中心的、综合的复杂技术有效性评估，并考虑到经济、社会、文化和伦理问题，以及这些技术的背景和实施问题。该项目产生了一系列指南，这些指南应该能够支持 HTA 科学家和决策者的工作。
