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)

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
