HTAR (HTA-Regulation): Implementation in Austria

Research area: HTA-methods & steering instruments

Duration: ongoing (4 PM)
Language: German

Subject: The HTA Regulation became legally binding in January 2025. Although the HTA-R does not intervene in national reimbursement decisions, it requires that the member states contribute their priorities for the evaluation of products to the central steering committee (Coordination Group). In highly decentralised countries (such as Austria), where many decisions are made regionally, but where the needs for health policy decisions also arise regionally, coordination is a prerequisite for the successful implementation of HTA-R. The work carried out in this context involves participating actively in the HTA Coordination Group and the subgroups and contributing to the ongoing development of documents (e.g., guidelines).

Method: Involvement (preparation and follow-up work) in the working groups, acting as assessor/co-assessor in JCAs (plan: 1 JCA in 2025)
