Abstract
The aim of health technology assessments (HTAs) is to provide input for decision-making processes by a systematic evaluation of the assumptions for and consequences of the application of health related technologies. An HTA is to a large extent based on available evidence, and therefore a systematic literature review of the aspects of the HTA is necessary to answer the questions of the HTA. The questions often include clinical as well as non-clinical issues such as ethical and organisational aspects, but where and how can non-clinical information be retrieved? During this presentation selected information sources and search approaches will be introduced, and the importance of including non-clinical information in health technology assessments will be discussed.
