                                  Acupuncture - areas of application, current evidence and proven indications

                                  This report provides an overview of possible applications and the current evidence on the effectiveness of acupuncture. Recommendations of the WHO and professional associations as well as the results of an overview of Cochrane Reviews are compared with 25 approved indications from the Austrian Health Council (Oberster Sanitätsrat, OSR), an advisory committee for the Ministry of Health and enables to identify indications for which (in)effectiveness is proven.

                                  Opportunities and strategies to drive appropriate use of MRI in Austria

                                  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential component of medical care. Currently, however, the appropriateness of diagnostic imaging is increasingly debated. With more than 100 MRI exams yearly per 1,000 population, Austria is leading in MRI utilisation in comparison to other OECD countries. In database screening, literature review and interviews with stakeholders we aimed to identify recommendations against the use of MRI and opportunities and strategies to drive appropriate imaging relevant to the Austrian context.

                                  Procedural guidance for the systematic evaluation of biomarker tests

                                  The usefulness of a biomarker test requires the demonstration of its diagnostic accuracy together with the demonstration of its clinical utility. The methodology for evidence-based evaluation of biomarkers is not yet fully established. In this project we reviewed current methodological approaches and synthesised them into a procedural guidance.

                                  Re-orientation of the Austrian parent-child preventive care programme Part X: further development of the mother-child-pass. Scientific support of the appraisal process

                                  For the planned appraisal process in the context of the further development of the mother-child-pass, the LBI-HTA worked on the following preparatory reports on behalf of the Austrian Ministry of Health: In Part Xa of the project “Re-orientation of the Austrian parent-child preventive care programme”, we analysed and compared national and international practice examples for the appraisal and contextualization of evidence. The identified similarities served as the basis for the development of an appraisal process for the further development of the mother-child-pass. The main features of this process were summarised in Part Xb. Additionally, we updated the guideline synthesis (Part IX) with screening recommendations from recent evidence-based guidelines for pregnancy. This update can be used as evidence basis for the appraisal process.

                                  Assessment – APPRAISAL – Decision: (Good) Practice examples and recommendations

                                  Health Technology Assessment HTA has in many countries become an integral part of health policy decision-making. After the assessment (the synthesis of available research evidence) some countries undertake an appraisal of the evidence’s impact and applicability for a specific context. Appraisal committees, sometimes called policy committees, work where research and policy meet. Appraisal committees facilitate the life of decision makers in health policy by translating research results into political recommendations. This working paper presents 11 appraisal committees from 7 countries and condenses their experience into recommendations. An appraisal committee set up in line with these examples of good-practice may serve as an important building block for transparent and evidence-based decision making in health policy.
