European Union regulation of health technology assessment: what is required for it to succeed?
22 July 2022 - After considerable discussion and debate, the European Commission proposal for the regulation of health technology assessment was finally adopted by the European Union on 15 December 2021 and entered into force on 11 January 2022 (Regulation (EU) 2021/2282).
The regulation is designed to formalise and make mandatory some of the activities, such as horizon scanning and clinical assessments of health technologies, that have been pursued over several years on a voluntary basis, through joint actions such as EUnetHTA.
