6) Dissemination and Implementation of Final Recommendations
Objective:

 To provide the Policy Recommendations along with the detailed outcome report

to the User Department for implementation.

Activities to be carried out in this phase:
 The recommendations approved by the HTAIn Board is handed over to the User

department formally to help them in decision-making and implementation.

 The secretariat may follow up the implementation process and keep a record of

implemented studies

 Outcome report is also presented before the stakeholders and uploaded on the
HTAIn website for feedback. Stakeholders are requested to furnish their views

within a period of 15 days from the date of online publication of report.

 The TP/RRC may also publish the report/ policy brief in a peer reviewed journal

or other media sources (print or electronic) so that it may reach to the wider

audience such as policymakers, administrators, health professionals, industrialists,
academicians, patients groups and citizens and become useful to them as well

while making decisions in the healthcare.

 Outcome Reports may go for publication or media reporting only after the due

approval of HTAIn Secretariat.

 Decision making and implementation of the policy is the role of the policy makers

of the respective User Agencies. It is quite possible that the policy makers accept
the Board recommendations as such or they may modify the recommendations

depending upon their own intellect, feasibility of implementation and

acceptability. The role of HTAIn is to assist the policy makers in decision making

backed by evidences and rigorous research procedure.

Note: The timelines provided in different phases of the study may vary depending
upon the topic and availability of data. A proper justification is required for the same.
