HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, now part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as ...

Interventions to Improve Communication at Hospital Discharge and Rates of Readmission

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IMPORTANCE Shortcomings in the education of patients at hospital discharge are associated with higher risks for treatment failure and hospital readmission. Whether improving communication at discharge through specific interventions has an association with patient-relevant outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the association of communication interventions at hospital discharge with readmission rates and other patient-relevant outcomes.

Educational material about genetic tests: Does it provide key information for patients and practitioners?

1997

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Genetic testing for common conditions will be used increasingly in primary care, but resources for patient counseling are decreasing. It is also necessary that primary care practitioners be better equipped to do basic genetic counseling. Therefore, the quality of informational materials for practitioners and patients is important. It was unknown how often key elements recommended by policy groups were actually included in such material. It was our aim to determine the content of printed informational material for practitioners and patients on genetic testing. We performed (1) a telephone survey of organizations in the United States that developed genetic tests or services and (2) a content analysis of pamphlets obtained from these organizations to determine the presence of 10 critical elements necessary to evaluate the appropriateness and performance of the tests. Almost 95% (169/178) of organizations responded to our survey; 131/169 (78%) reported using informational materials. We analyzed 115 pamphlets collected from 125/131 (95%) organizations. Elements least frequently included in the pamphlets were risks and benefits, patient rights, and intended use or purpose of the test. Most frequently included were descriptions of the conditions detected by the test, and the appropriate patients for testing. Nearly one half of the pamphlets included some statement about the accuracy of the test, but most of these did not specify whether their statements referred to sensitivity, specificity, or predictive value. Overall, pamphlets tended to contain information that would aid in determining a patient's eligibility for a genetic test, but did not contain sufficient information about the tests themselves. Our results suggest that several critical elements need to be added to enhance informed choices by patients and physicians.
