Riassunto (Italiano)
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary method of evaluating health technologies.
This thesis work is part of the first phase of the “T.H.E.” project. - Spoke 5 - HTA line”, which aims to create a micro-HTA tool for the evaluation of medical devices.
Specifically, this thesis work had the objective of both analysing the literature in order to identify the main topics on which research on HTA has focused in the last eleven years and to identify the Bodies/hospital companies involved in the HTA process of the Tuscany region. This allowed the analysis of the AS-IS HTA processes of two of the main regional players - the Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Pisana (AOUP) and the Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria Senese (AOUS) - which will be fundamental for setting up the investigation protocol for the future case studies.
