The success of HTA is its impact on decision-making processes. Thus the concept of HTA was developed to suit the demand for policy making by apply the context specific analysis for brokering science into policy.
Whether the HTA process meets the demand from policy makers is an important question, and there is a tension between the need for rigorous and high quality assessments on the one hand, and relevant and timely outputs to feed into decision-making processes on the other hand.
International collaboration might enable more HTA-reports to be in time with policy making processes.
