Nieuwsbrief
HTA Quarterly Summer 2026
In this edition, we look at how health economic and outcomes research (HEOR) teams can use AI to streamline quality appraisals and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) compliance checks, highlighting what a closed-system Generative AI (GenAI) chatbot can reliably support and where expert judgment remains essential. We also broaden the perspective on value, exploring how innovative treatments are increasingly assessed for their wider societal and environmental impacts beyond direct clinical outcomes. Finally, we turn to Germany, sharing insights from a Cencora-sponsored initiative leveraging approved access to the National Cancer Registry (ZfKD) to enable clinically granular oncology research under rigorous governance and data protection requirements.
