Objectives:
to map evidence on specialist participation in the health technology assessment process.
Methods:
a scoping review was conducted using the JBI method, searching the MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE/Elsevier, WoS/Clarivate, CINAHL, ASP/EBSCO, APA PsycINFO, ERIC, LILACS/BVS, SciELO, and INAHTA databases. Original articles published between 2013 and 2023 were considered. Data were extracted from 89 studies and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results:
between three and 15 specialists (64% of studies) participated. The property attribute was assessed for digital and non-digital devices, management systems, and equipment (93.1%, 94.2%, 60%, 33.3%, respectively), the cost-effectiveness attribute, for medications (60%), and the utility attribute, for medical-surgical procedures (31.6%). Participation was online, using digital and non-digital devices (53% and 52%, respectively), in-person, using devices (77.7%), and mixed, for the other types.
Conclusions:
it is necessary to structure the assessment according to the specific characteristics of the technology type, providing insights for implementing innovations in this sector.
