The German Agency for Health Technology Assessment (DAHTA)
The German Agency for Health Technology Assessment (DAHTA) has two statutory functions:
- Setup and maintenance of a database-supported information system for the assessment of the effectiveness and costs of medical procedures and technologies
- Granting research assignments for the assessment of procedures and technologies relevant to health in the form of HTA reports, and the evaluation of these reports for acceptance into the information system
Two committees support the DAHTA: The HTA Board of Trustees (professional) and the Scientific Advisory Board of HTA (methodology and strategy).
Background
The German Parliament established the German Agency for HTA (DAHTA) at the DIMDI (based in Cologne) as part of the Health Reform of 2000.
