Regulation on health technology assessment

The Regulation (EU) 2021/2282 on health technology assessment (HTAR) contributes to improving the availability for EU patients of innovative technologies in the area of health, such as medicines and certain medical devices. It ensures an efficient use of resources and strengthens the quality of HTA across the Union.
It provides a transparent and inclusive framework by establishing a Coordination Group of HTA national or regional authorities, a stakeholder network and by laying down rules on the involvement in joint clinical assessments and joint scientific con-sultations of patients, clinical experts and other relevant experts.
