HTA
A wide range of HTA reviews — e.g. for the Finnish Social Insurance Institution and COHERE Finland, as well as for private companies.
HTA identifies and summarises research evidence to support health care decision-making — a multi-disciplinary process analysing the safety, effectiveness, costs, and ethical, organisational and legal implications of health care technologies, as well as patient and citizen aspects.
We respond to the needs of each client, using state-of-the-art methods, ensuring the right scope and content for each assessment.

Summaryx aims to produce information which benefits society, and to offer meaningful and rewarding work for assessment professionals.
Our approach is both academic and pragmatic: collection of research data, information synthesis and critical evaluation are performed by applying robust methods, with the level of detail being determined on a case-by-case basis.
Get in touch and the team will be glad to discuss new work.
Send a messageWe typically undertake HTA reviews and systematic literature reviews, often including cost-effectiveness or budget-impact analyses. We respond to the needs of each client, using state-of-the-art methods, ensuring the right scope and content for each assessment.
We have completed a wide range of HTA reviews, e.g., for the Finnish Social Insurance Institution, Council for Choices in Health Care in Finland (COHERE Finland), as well as for private companies.
We have been involved in supporting the uptake of HTA as part of planning acquisitions and investment decisions. In collaboration with a number of Finnish hospitals we have developed a bespoke procurement proposal form (in Finnish, available in English on request).
We have also created a simplified web-based Budget Impact Analysis (BIA) tool (currently in Finnish, available in English on request), free for non-commercial use. In more complex procurement decisions, the AdHopHTA project's Mini-HTA form, version 2.0, can be used.
