⁉️What do you fund when resources are limited? Whose values count? What happens after a decision is made? 🗝️HTA is both a method and a process for priority setting 🗝️Policymakers seek evidence-informed, not purely evidence-based, decisions 🗝️Policy decisions are not linear and do not happen in isolation
