Environmental considerations in health technology assessments performed by Canadian agencies.
Objectives: Globally, several health technology assessment (HTA) agencies have started to incorporate environmental considerations into their assessments, given healthcare systems' substantial environmental footprint. In Canada, two HTA agencies, the Canadian Drug Agency and the Institut national d'excellence en santé et en services sociaux, have announced measures to help mitigate healthcare's contribution to climate change. Our aim was to review reports from both agencies to identify those incorporating environmental considerations.
Methods: We retrieved reports published between 1 May 2023 and 1 December 2024 by the two agencies.
Results: We identifed 202 reports, of which eleven were included. These reports covered diverse technologies, with greenhouse gas emissions and waste production being the most frequently considered environmental dimensions. Parallel evaluation was the predominant method for integrating environmental considerations. We believe that the limited number of reports included may reflect the challenges of incorporating such considerations into HTAs.
Conclusion: By addressing these challenges, HTA agencies could play a pivotal role in guiding decisions that align with environmental goals.
期刊介绍：
International Journal of Technology Assessment in Health Care serves as a forum for the wide range of health policy makers and professionals interested in the economic, social, ethical, medical and public health implications of health technology. It covers the development, evaluation, diffusion and use of health technology, as well as its impact on the organization and management of health care systems and public health. In addition to general essays and research reports, regular columns on technology assessment reports and thematic sections are published.
