King's Technology Evaluation Centre

KiTEC offers a full health technology assessment (HTA) service delivered by our highly skilled and experienced team of health technology assessors, health economists, literature review analysts, medical statisticians, data analysts and clinical consultants. This "one-team" approach delivers quality, consistency, and efficiency.

Health technology assessment is the bridge between evidence and policy making. This facilitates decisions on the efficient allocation of resources. The technology's clinical and economic value is assessed relative to current clinical practice. This includes when it provides value at a price to justify its use in the NHS.

Health technology assessment is critical for resource allocation, patient safety, innovation, and cost-effectiveness. HTA helps decision-makers allocate resources, promote innovation, safety, and prioritise investments. Approval by national reimbursement, pricing, or HTA teams is key to the success of a new health device or diagnostic.
