Health Technology Assessments
Completed technology reviews, including health technology assessment reports and Health Technology Assessment Committee recommendations, are listed on this page.
Health technology assessment reports are produced by independent organizations under contract for the Health Technology Review process and are contextualized for B.C. in most cases. The Health Technology Assessment Committee evaluates the evidence before making its recommendations. Please note while every effort is made, the accuracy of the information cannot be guaranteed and viewers are urged to verify the information before acting upon it. Please keep in mind that costs and economic models presented in the reports represent estimates only and may not be realized as actual costs or expected savings by the health system. These reports are intended as information for health system policy makers and nothing contained is intended as medical or health advice.
