Objective In vitro diagnostic tests for SARS-COV-2, also known as serological tests, have rapidly spread. However, to date, mostly single-center technical and diagnostic performance's assessments have been carried out without an intralaboratory validation process and a health technology assessment (HTA) systematic approach. Therefore, the rapid HTA for evaluating antibody tests for SARS-COV-2 was applied. Methods The use of rapid HTA is an opportunity to test innovative technology. Unlike traditional HTA (which evaluates the benefits of new technologies after being tested in clinical trials or have been applied in practice for some time), the rapid HTA is performed during the early stages of developing new technology. A multidisciplinary team conducted the rapid HTA following the HTA Core Model® (version 3.0) developed by the European Network for Health Technology Assessment. Results The three methodological and analytical steps used in the HTA applied to the evaluation of antibody tests for SARS-COV-2 are reported: the selection of the tests to be evaluated; the research and collection of information to support the adoption and appropriateness of the technology; and the preparation of the final reports and their dissemination. Finally, the rapid HTA of serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 is summarized in a report that allows its dissemination and communication. Conclusions The rapid-HTA evaluation method, in addition to highlighting the characteristics that differentiate the tests from each other, guarantees a timely and appropriate evaluation, becoming a tool to create a direct link between science and health management.

“…This article identified several key points of the doHTA method, derived from the new implementation of the EUnetHTA Core Model along with the AHP application, arising from its successful implementation as a tool for effective and efficient decision making. Since 2009, many HTs have been analyzed by adopting this new methodological approach within the Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital (e.g., blood gas analyzers [18], pulse oximeters, the design/organizational structure of the clinical chemistry laboratory, and robotic pediatric surgery). In fact, we have been able to supply a more precise and more structured output as well as a contextualized evidence of specific technology, making it possible to obtain data that are more relevant and easier to interpret, and therefore more useful for the decision makers to make investment choices with greater awareness.…”

In addition, 14 guidelines and methodologies proposed by international HTA agencies were reviewed, allowing the conceptualization of methodologies used internationally [11,12,16,23,24,30,31,[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44].…”

This study proposes a multi-criteria analysis for the prioritization of alternatives for POCT blood gas analysis equipment procurement in a high-complexity healthcare institution through the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). This work is presented as a tool for hospitals and is based on the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) model that supports the decision-making process in the acquisition of medical equipment. For this, criteria, sub-criteria and assessment instruments were identified based on the Core and mini-HTA models, review of scientific articles and healthcare institution requirements for high-complexity healthcare. The proposed approach was applied to the procurement process of POCT equipment in a healthcare institution in the city of Santiago de Cali-Colombia. As a result, the current procurement process was simplified by identifying five criteria and eleven sub-criteria that allowed the prioritization of POCT blood gas analysis equipment alternatives. Furthermore, three criteria with greater relevance were identified in the technological selection process.

Adopting European Network for Health Technology Assessments (EunetHTA) core model for diagnostic technologies for improving the accuracy and appropriateness of blood gas analyzers’ assessment

Abstract: The model presented offers a systematic and objective structure for the evaluation of blood gas analyzers, which may play a guidance role for healthcare operators approaching the evaluation of such technologies thus improving, in a contextualized fashion, the appropriateness of purchasing.
