Description of Peer-Review system
There is a need to create the system of internal - evaluation structure among the HTA documents (systematic reviews, pharmaeconomical reports). We have the chance to access innovatory service which is fusion of traditional form of quality control focused on scientific documentation and international cooperation among the net of specialists converged by HTAi organization.
Directorate of HTAi society beginning the process should establish the regular committee for organizing the foundations of Peer-Review system. The Committee ought to invite for the cooperation key-specialists outside the society, who can participate in certification process (it could be some sort of encouragement for them). The major purpose of Peer-Review Committee should be establishing the list of Assessors and Board of Appeal.
Generally defined tasks for that committee are:
-
Create the glossary of EBM/HTA.
-
Form the agreement regarding the substantial rules of assessing HTA documents (researches) in respect of scientific value (correction).
-
Generate the scales for evaluation (tool for Assessors) concerning:
- fragmentation of clinical trials into scientific values,
- ways how to make the most effective metaanalysis and comparison among clinical trials,
- the different types of population’s characteristics important for HTA reporting process.
Members of Peer-Review committee ought to be practitioners with documented experience regarding preparing HTA documents (minimum 30 prepared HTA reports as author or coauthor). They must be active in the field of EBM/HTA at least 10 years – it’s shown by their activities about participation and arrangement in the international HTA/EBM meetings, popularization this knowledge by publication etc. Peer-review inspection will be based on the standards selected and accepted by the medical/economical/mathematic scientists, authorities, which are necessary to correct HTA reports. The central certification institution is going to be Health Technology Assessment International (HTAi). The final effect of research leaded by Assessors` Teams will be decree of quality award (as a mark of prime quality) formally adjudicated by HTAi.
The framework of inspection system should be rooted in judgment cells consisting of three specialists called Assessors. Each Assessor independently verifies reported HTA documentation. For the duration of checking-time they use specially prepared scales for estimation. The scales are generous tool in valuating the HTA documents. These scales ought to be prepared as an agreement of specialists. Every Team of Assessors (3 persons) will be created for the same evaluated HTA report – members of such target team should to be chosen aleatory from the list of all Assessors. The document is recognized as a valuable research material (and receives Peer-Review Quality Award) when all experts judge it positively. The Assessors can be used (from HTAi) by courts as connoisseurs.
Board of Appeal is a supreme appeal commission designed for clients who don’t agree with (negative) decision of Assessors` Team. The verdict of Board of Appeal is ultimate and there is no any revocation. The Board consists of seven members affiliated for two-year period of time.
