Abstract: The HTA process is becoming increasingly transparent to patients and the public; however, more effort is required to fully engage patients in the decision-making processes for medicine HTAs. This pilot study identified three key areas for further advancement in this field, and recognized a need for further research in the areas of measuring the impact of patient engagement on decision making in medicine HTAs, as well as the best methods to better prepare patient advocacy groups through HTA education and training. These research recommendations will form the basis of a future study with a larger, more comprehensive sample. Copyright Springer International Publishing AG 2012
