MT42 HTA Landscape of Medical Devices in Canada

Abstract

Reimbursement of medical devices based on Heath Technology Assessment (HTA) has become increasingly important. In Canada, decision-making is highly decentralized, and evaluations of devices are not mandatory on a national level; local level stakeholders are the final decision-makers for reimbursement based on allocated budgets, clinical need, and healthcare objectives. This research aims to explore the current HTA landscape of medical devices in Canada.
