An Exploratory Review of Evaluations of Health Technology Assessment Agencies

Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) HTA Initiative #16.

The objectives of this review were:

1. To propose a generic evaluation framework for HTA agencies to strengthen their evaluation capacity.
2. To conduct a review of HTA agencies to understand what aspects of HTA agencies have been evaluated, approaches/methods used, outcomes of hte evaluations and to understand what was learned through these evaluations that could guide HTA agencies to best serve their mandate.

NOTE: In 2006 the Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research HTA unit moved to IHE. Documents produced in and prior to 2006 have different formats; the format was determined by the agency for which the document was produced.
