Development and implementation of a value framework for rapid health technology assessment reports: enhancing evidence-informed decision making in resource-constrained settings.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Value frameworks play a crucial role in bridging the gap between evidence and decision making in health care, particularly in settings with limited resources as low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). In this study, we present the development of a value framework (VF) targeted to provide coverage recommendations in rapid health technology assessment reports (rHTA) as well as its first 5 years of implementation.

Methods

We performed an exhaustive literature search with the aim to identify existing VFs and their dimensions followed by the generation of a VF proposal through a mixed methods, qualitative-quantitative approach including a Delphi panel to weigh the criteria and correlate them with the subsequent recommendations. To describe its implementation, we prese
