Incorporating MCDA into HTA: A Focus on Lower Income Settings

2018

The authors present key challenges, both methodological and practical against using multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) in health technology assessment (HTA) as well as solutions to these challenges.  They showcase lessons learned from previous applications of MCDS to HTA, including design, criteria of models, approaches for estimating costs and challenges with various approaches.  By showing efforts that have succeeded in overcoming these challenges in lower and middle income-countries, they show how MCDA has the potential to improve decision making in these settings.
