initial assessment team
refers to the selection of topics through a standard set of criteria by HTACtoensurethatthe appraisal process responds to the priority health care needs of the country and that the topics addressconditions that are important to patients, health care providers, PhilHealth and DOHprogrammanagers, hospitals and local health system administrators.
Topic prioritization
The objective of this specific step is to ensure that topics are subjected to a standard selectionprocessindeciding which health technologies undergo assessment and appraisal to maximize the useof availableresources. Through this step, it is also aimed that all relevant stakeholders are properly consultedinatransparent, inclusive and predictable manner
