Authors' objectives:
The European network for Health Technology Assessment Joint Action (EUnetHTA JA)
project's overarching objective was to 'establish an effective and sustainable HTA [Health technology
assessment] collaboration in Europe that brings added value at the regional, national and European level'.
Specific objectives were to develop a strategy and business model for sustainable European collaboration
on HTA, develop HTA tools and methods and promote good practice in HTA methods and processes.
We describe activities performed on behalf of the National Institute for Health Research HTA programme;
evaluating the project processes and developing a data set for a registry of planned clinical studies of
relevance to public funders
Authors' recommendations:
A number of recommendations have been made for the next EUnetHTA JA2 project and its
evaluation. This included that the evaluation of the EUnetHTA JA2 project should extend beyond the end
of the project to allow assessment of its impact; that the quality, usability and cost-effectiveness of
tools in 'real-world HTA practice' should be assessed and tangible benefits of international networking
should be evaluated. It is worth proceeding to develop a database registry aimed at identifying trials
in development based on the data set developed.
