HTA & Innovation – What We DoHTA & Innovation Team Support an evidence-informed decision model for managing health technologies
Identify, prioritize, assess health technology (devices and processes) expected to significantly impact patient safety, clinical/cost effectiveness, health outcomes, clinical practice, human resources, and/or policy
Investigate innovative alternatives for current health technology to improve safety, quality, and/or outcomes
Promote effective and appropriate uptake of technologies
Validate effectiveness of promising health technologies with access through evidence development initiatives (field evaluations, trials and pilot projects)

Definition: Knowledge Translation
An ongoing, iterative and interactive process that focuses on actively translating research evidence into a useable form that will enhance its implementation into practice.

Two sides of the same coin…
HTA and KM are inter-related
HTA is an ally, a knowledge-broker
Both are needed for evidence-informed decision making
