Developing health technology assessment capacity : a five-step approach to disseminating the evidence. Kazanjian, Arminée, 1947-; Green, C. J. (Carolyn Joanne), 1956-

Description

To influence policy and decision-making, the effective dissemination of technology assessment products is a necessary step. Like many other HTA groups, BCOHTA has been working to develop a successful dissemination strategy. The goal of the dissemination strategy is to introduce effectiveness evidence, for example, in funding or acquisition decisions, in a format which is preferred by the user of the product and is received at the most opportune time. Therefore, when a single product is being disseminated to different stakeholders, researchers need to appreciate the varying usefulness of the information they have produced to the potential users and be responsive to the specific needs of each of the stakeholders.
