Reflets et perspectives de la vie économique, 2014, vol. LIII, issue 4, 55-65

Abstract: Health technology assessment (HTA) aims at providing support to decision makers in taking good decisions to keep the health care system accessible, of the highest quality as possible and durable. One element of HTA is the economic aspect considering whether an intervention offers value for money in comparison to other alternatives. In this article, we provide an introduction to HTA and economic evaluations and provide the example of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
