Health Technology Inquiry Service

Quick access to health technology information through the Health Technology Inquiry Service

Rapid and continual advances in health care have made evidence-based information on medical technologies an essential part of informed decision making.

To support these decisions, health technology assessment (HTA) agencies need to provide quality assessments of medical technologies in a timely, efficient manner. While comprehensive HTA reports are used to support many important deliberations, the urgency of some decisions requires a more immediate response. The Health Technology Inquiry Service (HTIS) has been meeting this need since February 2005 when the service was launched.
