This research was undertaken to explore the application of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient and public involvement (PPI) in national health technology assessment (HTA) in the USA, England, China, and Brazil.
Introduction:
In recent years, the integration of PROs and PPI into HTA has gained momentum as healthcare systems strive to become more patient centred.
PROs offer direct insights into how patients experience their health and treatment, while PPI ensures that the values, preferences, and lived experiences of patients and the public are reflected in healthcare decision-making. Despite growing recognition of their importance, the extent to which and way in which PROs and PPI are embedded in HTA processes varies significantly across countries.
This research explores how four national HTA or stakeholder bodies incorporate PROs and PPI into their assessment frameworks. By examining these diverse systems, the study aims to identify global trends, highlight best practices, and uncover gaps in the adoption of patient-centred approaches. Understanding these differences is critical to advancing HTA methodologies that are not only scientifically rigorous but also meaningfully aligned with patient needs and societal values.
