Social values, ethics and politics in health technology assessment

国际上各国政府越来越关注如何最好地分配其有限的卫生预算，特别是在为日益昂贵的药品和医疗设备以及昂贵的卫生服务改革和公共卫生干预措施提供资金方面。为了做出这些决定，他们进行并使用“卫生技术评估”。这一研究项目将审查卫生保健协会的伦理和政治，以便使卫生保健协会和卫生政策与澳大利亚人口的价值观和健康需求保持一致。

Governments internationally are increasingly concerned with how best to allocate their limited health budgets, particularly when it comes to funding ever-more expensive pharmaceuticals and medical devices as well as expensive health service reforms and public health interventions. To make these decisions, they conduct and use “health technology assessments”. This program of research will examine the ethics and politics of HTA in order to align HTA and health policy with the values and health needs of the Australian population.
