ABSTRACT:

Background

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) supports optimal healthcare resource allocation by providing evidence-based input for decision-making. The manuscript aims to: (1) summarise the development process of methodological guidelines for Oman with involvement of key stakeholders to facilitate consistency, transparency and robustness in technology appraisal, and (2) present the features of the accepted HTA guidelines.

Methods

Guideline development included five steps: (1) learnings from international HTA guidelines; (2) multistakeholder workshop on key components of the Omani methodological guidelines; (3) survey to facilitate consensus on most critical elements; (4) drafting the guidelines based on collected observations; and (5) validation through feedback from policy
