EU HTA Publication Digest: Implementing the EU HTA regulation and joint clinical assessment: a multi-stakeholder perspective from Italy

MTRC shares the most relevant and impactful publications in the field of market access and HEOR for medical technologies in Europe through its EU HTA Publications Digest. 

In a recent publication, Meregaglia et al. explored the expected impact of implementing the EU HTA Regulation and Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) through a multi-stakeholder case study in Italy.
