Submit a provincial Health Technology Assessment Committee topic nomination by Nov. 18

The provincial Health Technology Assessment Committee (HTAC) is looking for submissions to inform its 2023/2024 work plan.

The process provides evidence-informed advice about which devices, diagnostics, medical procedures, or programs should receive funding in the province. Some examples of recently assessed topics include neuromodulation for cancer and non-cancer pain and deep brain stimulation for advanced Parkinson's disease.

If you are aware of any: 

• ​Health technologies that are not publicly funded that would significantly contribute to improved patient outcomes and provide value for money, or
• Health technologies that are currently funded within the system but whose benefits may no longer be clear, please complete the HTA Topic Nomination Form and send it via email to the Health Technology Assessment Office (HTA.Office@gov.bc.ca) before Nov. 18 in order to be considered.

​For assistance in completing the nomination form, contact rachael.ritchie@vch.ca. For further information, please visit http://www.health.gov.bc.ca/hta/
