Incorporating environmental sustainability into HTA is critical to support healthcare sustainable development. The definition of HTA emphasizes the inclusion of environmental aspects, however this domain is still not widely adopted globally.
Therefore, a working group at HTAi (www.htai.org) has come together to work on this subject and develop some foundational consensus. https://htai.org/engage-with-us/working-groups/htai-eshta/
The ESHTA Working Group brings together regulators, providers, payers, policymakers, researchers, patients, and industry to strengthen methods and frameworks for integrating environmental sustainability into HTA. We welcome new members committed to advancing this essential work.
If you are interested to join the group, please reach out to us (via the website) or sign up to our Linked in Group: https://www.linkedin.com/company/htai-environment-sustainability-hta
