Compared with traditional HTA, the most fundamental feature of HB-HTA is “organizational perspective”, which is based on the actual situation of the hospital and supports hospital management decision-making. The new health care reform has set higher goals and requirements for hospitals. HB-HTA has management, economic and technical functions, and it can provide methodological support for health care policy management and decision-making based on the current optimal evidence, and promote the transformation of hospital from administrative decision-making to evidence informed decision-making. As an integral part of HTA network, HB-HTA plays a role in health technology networks through vertical cooperation mechanism and horizontal diffusion mechanism. It can interact and cooperate with national and regional HTA, as well as spread based on a specific medical field.
