Evidence based Health Care (EBHC)

CADTH Health Technology Assessments (HTAs) support and inform effective, evidence-based decisions about health policy and purchasing, service management, and clinical practice. Selected topics are of national interest to the publicly funded health care system.

HTA on the Net provides a list of resources that can be used to collect information for a health technology assessment.

The CRD databases are updated daily and provide decision-makers with access to:

• Quality assessed systematic reviews
• Economic evaluations
• Summaries of completed and ongoing health technology assessments
• Summaries of all Cochrane reviews and protocols

HSTAT is a free, Web-based resource of full-text documents that provide health information and support health care decision making.

The Ontario Health Technology Assessment Series (OHTAS) includes the evidence-based analyses produced by the Evidence Development and Standards team since 2001. Links to OHTAC recommendations are also provided, along with associated reports by field evaluation partners and scientific collaborators, where available.
