Contact: chiara.dewaure@unicatt.it Health technology assessment (HTA) is proposed by international and national organizations as an indispensable tool to adequately confront the arrival of new technologies and rising costs in health care. It has come out as a crucial tool in modern public health, evolving from academic environment to the indispensable point in the decision-making process. The growth of HTA reflects the demand for reliable information to support the decisions in uptaking and dismissing of health technologies. Key factors for HTA further implementation are building human resources and implementing robust HTA methodology. HTA should be known, understood and used by all public health practitioners because health technologies represent the building blocks of healthcare systems. HTA requires multidisciplinary teams and adaptive human resources, representing different disciplines but having a common scientific language. Because of the interdisciplinary nature of HTA, present and future public health professionals should have a broad training in diverse research skills and understanding of several topics and methods, as clearly underlined during the 9th European Public Health Conference in Vienna. One of the skills of a public health practitioners doing HTA is evaluating the costs and benefits of health technology because this is a requirement for an efficient spending and for guaranteeing sustainability. At the same time, also public health practitioners using HTA should know the economic jargon. It is indeed fundamental for PH practitioners to understand the importance of economic evaluations as part of a comprehensive public health decision-making process. This skills building seminar is an opportunity to continue building HTA capacity within EUPHA. Putting the accent in particular on the economic evaluation and its interface with public health expertise, this seminar will provide participants with the knowledge and tools to better understand the complexity and multidisciplinarity of the HTA. We will begin with an overview presentation of economic methods used in the HTA, followed by two case studies on specific public health issues, namely healthcare associated infections and nutrition which will further promote an interactive discussion of the audience on several issue linked to the economic evaluation of public health interventions within the context of HTA.
