Abstract

With the development of scientific, technical and production capacity, improvement of international standards of medical care and standards of pharmaceutical products, expansion of medical services, there is a need to apply innovative technologies in health care. The application of the latest effective health technologies has an impact both on the healthcare system as a whole and on the health policy. Specialists are faced with the task of using the most effective health technologies at an affordable price with the subsequent prognosis of improving patients’ quality of life. Taking into account the economic, social, legal and ethical aspects of implementing health technologies, there is a need for their assessment from the standpoint of evidence based medicine. Therefore, health technology assessment (HTA) has to be conducted with regard to all aspects that affect both the patient’s condition from an ethical, socio-economic, legal perspective, and the policy in the healthcare system as a whole. Hence, the study of socio-historical prerequisites of the development of HTA in the world and in Ukraine is key to understanding social and economic processes taking place in medicine and pharmacy today. The aim of the research is to determine socio-historical prerequisites for the emergence of HTA, get acquainted with the practice of introducing HTA, systemize historical facts that prompted the introduction of HTA at the world level and in Ukraine, study and summarize the stages of HTA development in the world and in Ukraine. Methods. A review of domestic and foreign resources was conducted using information retrieval databases, scientometric databases Scopus, Web of Science, etc.; the collection and systematization of information in the form of tables, analysis of legal documents, which regulate HTA in Ukraine, was carried out. The following research methods were used: information retrieval by keywords using search systems, databases and websites; content analysis of documents adopted at the world level and within the Ukrainian legislation; systematization of information. Results. The analysis of international legal documents, a review of foreign scientific papers and websites found that HTA emerged due to international integration processes that took place in clinical epidemiology, pharmacy, health care management and economics, which led to the development of pharmacoeconomics, medical insurance, price-setting, etc. In Ukraine, the implementation of HTA began in 2010 with the opening of ISPOR pharmacoeconomic research offices.
