Summary
This study provides practical guidance for health technology assessment (HTA) bodies to implement lifecycle HTA (LC-HTA). It details three operational steps and offers a checklist to support the adoption of LC-HTA approaches.
Area of Science:
- Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
- Healthcare Policy and Management
Background:
- Health technology assessment (HTA) bodies require guidance for implementing lifecycle HTA (LC-HTA).
- The Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi) Global Policy Forum (GPF) established a Task Force to address LC-HTA implementation.
- Previous work defined LC-HTA and its framework.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide practical operational guidance for implementing lifecycle HTA (LC-HTA).
- To support HTA bodies in adopting LC-HTA methodologies.
Main Methods:
- Detailed descriptions of three LC-HTA operational steps: defining the decision problem, sequencing HTA activities, and developing optimization criteria.
- Inclusion of worked examples to illustrate the operational steps.
- Development of an operationalization checklist with 20 questions for HTA bodies.
Main Results:
- The paper presents a structured approach to operationalizing LC-HTA.
- A comprehensive checklist is provided to guide HTA bodies through the implementation process.
- The guidance is designed to be adaptable across various HTA types and contexts.
Conclusions:
- This paper offers actionable guidance for the practical implementation of LC-HTA.
- The provided operational steps and checklist facilitate the integration of LC-HTA into HTA practices.
- Adaptability of the guidance to local contexts is emphasized for successful LC-HTA adoption.

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.

2.0K
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...
