Authors' objectives:
The purpose of this study was to develop further sophistication in the understanding and exposition of the impact of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Unit's products.
Authors' recommendations:
It was found that evidence presented in HTA products informs decisions of the requesting organization. Factors that have a positive influence on impact include the quality of the report and the reputation and credibility of the HTA Unit. Time of availability of the product can affect the impact of the product. In order for products to have a positive impact, they must be available at the time the decision is being made. Products that present inconclusive evidence have less impact on decision-making and the presence of external barriers (e.g., advocacy action of lobby groups and the momentum of existing programs) may further limit their impact.
