MATCH is the Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare (www.match.ac.uk). Throughout the world, there is an increasing emphasis on the use of Health Technology Assessment (HTA) to determine value for money when adopting medical technology. In MATCH, we work with demand-side organisations such as the NHS Centre for Evidence-based Purchasing (CEP) to develop decision-support methods and tools, as well as with the NHS National Innovation Centre (NIC). The MATCH team also works with a range of companies to develop an integrated suit of methods that connect between the worlds of ‘based on belief’ and ‘based on evidence’. This involves producing guidelines, developing methods, and providing integrated HTA tools for business processes - for those producing medical technology and those who take it up and use it.
