Service package
HTA Readiness Assessment
A structured review of how ready a ministry, insurer or agency is to use health technology assessment in its decisions, with a practical, prioritised plan for the next steps.
When you need this
Your institution has been asked to use HTA — by law, by a new benefits body or by funders — and needs a clear view of where it stands, what is missing and what to do first.
What is included
- Review the legal, policy and institutional basis for priority setting and HTA
- Map current decision processes for benefit packages, medicines lists and tariffs
- Assess people, skills, data sources and methods guidance against a structured framework
- Interview decision-makers, technical staff and stakeholders
- Identify gaps, quick wins and longer-term investments
- Draft a prioritised roadmap with responsibilities and a training plan
What you receive
- HTA readiness report, structured by governance, process, methods, data and capacity
- Prioritised roadmap for the next one to three years
- Capacity-building plan with suggested training modules
- Validation workshop with your team

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as setting up an HTA agency?
No. The assessment tells you where you stand and what to do next. We can then support implementation — methods guidelines, pilot assessments and training — as separate work.
Which framework do you use?
We agree it with you at scoping. Published HTA institutionalisation frameworks and the practice of countries at a similar stage are used as reference points.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is on request. We send a written proposal setting out the scope, timeline and price after a short call.
