Evaluating the impact of patient involvement in health technology assessments (HTA) may help improve practices and avoid ineffective activities. Evaluation, however, continues to be infrequent, inconsistent, and often only relates to process quantity or quality. The Patient and Citizen Involvement in HTA Interest Group (PCIG) within Heal...
Introduction
While the impact of health technology assessments (HTAs) is often not evaluated, some HTA bodies measure the impact of patient involvement in their processes. Evaluating how patient involvement is perceived by all stakeholders may help to improve practices and avoid activities that unduly burden patient and HTA communities. Frameworks...
Objective:
While patient participation in individual health technology assessments (HTAs) has been frequently described in the literature, patient and citizen participation at the organizational level is less described and may be less understood and practiced in HTA bodies. We aimed to better understand its use by describing current practice.

In the 2000s,...

This chapter reflects on some key themes emerging in this book. The book provides a starting point for HTA bodies and academics to consider, research, develop, pilot and implement patient involvement processes in collaboration with patients and other stakeholders.
