Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is primarily intended to evaluate the relative effectiveness of medicinal products, medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices, as well as other health technologies.Â
It is carried out to produce a systematic, transparent, impartial, reliable, objective and expert evaluation that supports informed decision-making on the appropriate use of a health technology and its inclusion in the healthcare system. Already implemented health technologies may also be subject to assessment.
In accordance with the Act on Ensuring Quality in Healthcare (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 102/24 in 111/25 – ZDIUPZ), the Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Quality in Healthcare is the Competent Authority for the implementation of the Regulation (EU) 2021/2282 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2021 on Health Technology Assessment and amending Directive 2011/24/EU.
