Area of Science:

  • Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
  • Professional Competencies
  • Global Health Policy

Background:

  • Health Technology Assessment (HTA) professionals require defined competencies for effective training and capacity building.
  • Existing frameworks needed updating to reflect current HTA practice and emerging domains.
  • International consensus is crucial for standardized competency development in HTA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define new competencies and competency domains for HTA professionals.
  • To establish competencies across three distinct levels of expertise (competent, proficient, expert).
  • To achieve international consensus on competency descriptions using a Delphi approach.

Main Methods:

  • An existing competency framework was updated with new domains and competencies.
  • A two-round Delphi survey involving international panelists was conducted.
  • Consensus was built on the relevance and descriptions of competencies and domains.

Main Results:

  • Consensus was reached on most competencies, including those related to Environmental aspects and Artificial Intelligence in HTA.
  • Specific competencies, such as those concerning performance and achievements, required further refinement.
  • The second Delphi round confirmed the stability of competency descriptions compared to the first.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive competency framework for HTA professionals at competent, proficient, and expert levels was successfully developed.
  • The framework supports capacity building at individual, organizational, and environmental levels.
  • This standardized framework can enhance the quality and consistency of HTA globally.
