The term Health Technology Assessment (HTA) specifies a process of systematically evaluating health relevant procedures and technologies with relation to the health care of the population. Since the middle of the 90’s HTA plays an important role in German health policy. The German Agency for HTA at DIMDI was established in 2000. It runs the HTA information system and a programme for the production of HTA reports.
