Environmental Sustainability in Health Technology Assessment
Description
The global climate is changing due to human activity and greenhouse gas emissions. The healthcare industry accounts for up to 8% of global emissions, so there is a growing imperative to address its environmental footprint. Health technology assessment (HTA) bodies, like the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), are changing how they evaluate health technologies, placing a greater focus on environmental data.
But this shift presents a new challenge: how do we balance traditional health outcomes with environmental impact?
This webinar provides a crucial overview of the methods used to quantify the environmental impact of healthcare interventions. We will discuss various approaches to incorporating sustainable development into HTA decisions, from navigating the complexities of multi-criteria frameworks to exploring the "trade-off" between health economics and environmental outcomes.
