Abstract
Health technology assessment (HTA) is a set of techniques for helping decision-makers make better decisions in terms of the impact on a nation's health. This article outlines the principal features of HTA; it emphasizes the basic economic analysis that lies behind it, the integration of economic and other evidence, the ways in which it is best conducted, and its role as an aid to, rather than a substitute for, careful thinking.
