Abstract

The HTA Core Model (HTACM) of EUnetHTA and the INTEGRATE-HTA Model (IHTAM) both provide HTA experts with advanced guidance on how to assess health technologies. In this study, we examine the similarities and differences of the two models, identifying synergies and opportunities for future collaboration. We also consider how such an alignment of the HTACM and IHTAM might be done in practice and present some alternative practical approaches. Overall the two models share several similarities, primarily the perception of HTA as a multidisciplinary analysis that needs to be adjusted according to the properties of the technology under assessment.
