ABSTRACT
Hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA) is a scientific approach to inform decisions on investments in health technologies across multiple medical specialties at a hospital level. HB-HTA is not currently practiced in Poland. This study aimed to assess the need for HTA in Polish hospitals, including perceived benefits and challenges of adoption of HB-HTA in Poland, expected demand for training in HB-HTA, and perception of incentives to foster HB-HTA adoption. Study data were gathered using the computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI) technique. Between June and August 2021, 50 interviews were conducted 52% of respondents had over 10 years of experience, and 40% comprised the highest degree reference hospitals. A high or moderate need for HB-HTA was reported by 86% of managers. The ability to indicate valuable and affordable medical technologies was the main reported benefit of HB-HTA (90%). The main obstacle to the adoption of HB-HTA was the shortage of competent staff (84%). The most important incentives to adopt HB-HTA were free training and premium financing from the National Health Fund. There is a clear need for HB-HTA in Polish hospitals despite some important obstacles.
