Current Situation of Health Technology Assessment in Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospitals
This study aims to understand the recognition of practitioners in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hospitals on hospital-based health technology assessment (HB-HTA), assessment needs, challenges, and suggestions, so as to provide references for the future work.
Method
2
The convenient sampling method was adopted to survey the relevant practitioners in TCM hospitals. The questionnaire included 39 questions in 4 dimensions and was distributed through the online platform Weijuanxing.
Result
2
A total of 244 questionnaires were recovered, and the obtained data were analyzed in SPSS. The results showed that 137 practitioners were very familiar with HB-HTA and there was no significant difference in the recognition of practitioners in different occupations (
F
=0.251;
P
=0.778). The practitioners in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan had lower recognition than those in other regions. In terms of the assessment needs, 127 practitioners believed that it was very necessary to carry out HB-HTA in TCM hospitals in the future. Chinese patent medicines/Chinese herbal medicine decoction pieces (5.91) and TCM appropriate technology (5.57) had higher assessment priority scores. The assessment needs were high for the effectiveness (235 practitioners) and safety (224 practitioners) of health technology. The lack of specialized organization and standardized evaluation process system and the shortage of talents were considered to be the major challenges for the future development in this field.
Conclusion
2
The stakeholders carrying out the health technology assessment in TCM hospitals had certain awareness of HB-HTA. Most practitioners believed that it was necessary to carry out HB-HTA in TCM hospitals in the future, while the work might face challenges such as the lack of organizations and system and the shortage of talents, which requires policy support.
