Description
Summary:Battista has written a thoughtful and timely challenge to the field of health technology assessment (HTA). As the author points out, HTA is changing and evolving. One of the greatest challenges is that HTA now seems firmly established in a number of countries, and is being looked to more and more for the “answers.” We accept and endorse Battista's central thesis, and essentially all of his critical questions, including his ideas about future research topics. We hope to evoke further thoughts in the reader and perhaps stimulate other responses, either private and public.
