Publications

The repository of the AIHTA

The institute's repository provides long-term access to all AIHTA publications and series in an electronic format, free of charge. Additionally all publications of individual AIHTA researchers covering HTA or EBM issues, or those that have been published under AIHTA affiliation, are filed as citations. A comprehensive publication-list of each researcher can be found through their respective website submenu (under AIHTA team).

AIHTA series

HTA Newsletter

The concept of a periodical, electronic-only HTA newsletter is to transfer the results of international assessments into a German-language, easily readable journalistic format: each month 4 articles on relevant technologies/interventions are selected. Often, but not always, topics are chosen which at least 2 different HTA institutions have worked on and published independently. An editorial article, frequently written by an invited expert, deals with horizontal topics such as methodological aspects or questions of health policy. The newsletter has been published 10 times per year since September 2001. HTA Newsletter

Rapid Assessments 

These assessments are carried out within a timeframe of 1-3 months, and are, in terms of methodology, systematic reports. However, they go into less detail or have a narrower focus than full assessments (see AIHTA methods manual). Repository

Decision Support Documents

In this series „mini-assessments", which are carried out within the space of 1 month, are published, serving mainly as decision-making support for the Austrian health ministry and the informal "HTA in hospitals" network. Repository
