About us at HTA Region Stockholm

HTA Region Stockholm is a center of excellence dedicated to supporting evidence-based decision-making in healthcare at both regional and national levels. We specialize in conducting comprehensive Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) to inform policy and practice. Our expert team evaluates new and existing health technologies, including medical devices, diagnostic methods, treatment procedures, and organizational systems. We employ a rigorous, systematic methodology to assess the evidence of benefits and harms associated with these technologies. The assessments can also encompass cost-effectiveness, ethical implications such as effects on equity, as well as social and organizational impacts.

Our organization

We are part of the Center for Health Economics, Informatics and Healthcare Research – Centrum för hälsoekonomi, informatik och sjukvårdsforskning (CHIS) – within Stockholm Health Care Services - Stockholms läns landsting (SLSO), under Region Stockholm. Our primary work is on behalf of the Health and Medical Care Administration – Hälso- och sjukvårdsförvaltningen (HSF) – of Region Stockholm, but we are also able to undertake projects for other public sector entities. As a university healthcare unit, CHIS conducts high-quality research at both national and international levels, offers top-tier education, and contributes to evidence-based healthcare by applying our research findings to practical care while continuously evaluating both established and new methods.
