Methodology for evaluation of impact of health technology assessments (HTAs) is outlined and its use illustrated by applying it to 21 HTAs produced by CETS. Impact on policies and technology diffusion was identified in documents, through interviews, questionnaires, and use of data banks. There was evidence that all but three reports influenced policy and that cost-minimization studies caused savings of between $16 million and $27 million annually. Precise estimates of impact will seldom be possible, but systematic documentation of effects is feasible.
概述了评估卫生技术评估（HTA）影响的方法，并通过将其应用于CETS编制的21项HTA来说明其用途。通过文件、访谈、问卷调查和使用数据库确定了对政策和技术传播的影响。有证据表明，除三份报告外，所有报告都对政策产生了影响，成本最小化研究每年节省了1600万美元至2700万美元。很少能够精确估计影响，但系统记录影响是可行的。
