EUnetHTA Response to COVID-19

EUnetHTA Assessments both for Pharmaceutical Products and Medical Devices / Other Technologies might face delays in their publication due to the impact COVID-19 measures have on our authoring teams. Any delays will be communicated with the relevant partners as soon as we become aware of them.

EUnetHTA Joint Assessments (JA) are health technology assessments jointly produced by at least four EUnetHTA partners in different European countries. EUnetHTA processes, guidelines and the HTA Core Model® are used for the production of assessments that are subject to extensive review procedures in order to ensure high quality. JAs are centrally coordinated by the WP4 Co-Leads and comprise a broad stakeholder involvement, including the use of a EUnetHTA submission file in addition to a scoping (e-)meeting with industry.

EUnetHTA Collaborative Assessments (CA) are primarily produced in non-pharmaceutical technologies. They only differ from the EUnetHTA JAs with regard to coordination, i.e. the project management is performed in a decentralised manner by WP4 Co-Lead and WP4 Activity Centre Department Leads. In CAs, the use of submission file and scoping (e-)meeting with industry are optional. CAs should facilitate timelines that are aligned with national work programmes and should contribute to the sustainability of assessment production after 2020 due to decentralised coordination.
