Description
Jo Watson and co-authors described in 2025 how Australian patients and the public were put in charge of reshaping their own role in health technology assessment. The process grew from a five-year pact between the health department and the drug industry body. A consumer reference group designed the co-design, tilting membership toward consumers and choosing them through peer selection.
An independent facilitator ran the work against principles the group set itself. The resulting report, Enhance HTA, carries ten recommendations on partnership, openness, and evidence. Its vision puts Australians' lived experience at the heart of assessment decisions. The authors call the consumer-led design a strong signal of intent. They expect the plan to be built into the pathway from drug development to funding.
