"Citizens' Reference Panel on Health Technologies - Ontario Canada","MASS LBP","In December 2008, a 14-member Citizens’ Reference Panel on Health Technologies (CRPHT) was established to inform the work of the Medical Advisory Secretariat (MAS) and the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC), which produces evidence-based recommendations regarding the use of health technologies throughout Ontario’s health system. A specific emphasis of the panel’s work was to elicit the societal and ethical values that should guide OHTAC in developing its recommendations about whether and how technologies should be used in Ontario. The creation of the CRPHT represents early experimentation with a deliberative engagement method to incorporate public values and citizen perspectives into the highly expert-driven health technology assessment processes. The panel was established through a research collaboration between McMaster University, led by Dr. Julia Abelson (Department of Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics) and the Medical Advisory Secretariat of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, headed by Dr. Les Levin.","SummaryIn December 2008, a 14-member Citizens’ Reference Panel on Health Technologies (CRPHT) was established to inform the work of the Medical Advisory Secretariat (MAS) and the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC), which produces...","Fri, 04/09/2010 - 17:40","Canada","No","Sunday, November 30, 2008 - 16:00","Monday, May 31, 2010 - 17:00","Health, Science & Technology","","Discussion, Dialogue, or Deliberation","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial)","Consultation (i.e. to advise decision makers)","Open to all with targeted recruitment, Random Selection","Civic Lottery","Regional (e.g. State, Province, Autonomous Region)","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial), Academic Institution, For Profit Business","Regional Government (e.g. State, Provincial, Territorial)","Yes"
