Applicability of different standards or evaluations might be a problem in certain countries. Different countries have to find a criterion or a factor to apply assessments from other countries as it can not be done 1:1, especially not HTA reports related to economic or epidemiologic aspects. Applicability depends on the nature of certain HTA study. Some studies (RCT) can be transferred directly from country to country, other like economic evaluations or epidemiologic studies are not cross country applicable. In Slovenia, according to experience from other countries, the MoH suggests measures for assessment of new methods of treatment, such as: medical effectiveness (necessity of medical treatment and efficiency of the program), economic efficiency of the program, as well as social and population view.
