Abstract
Health technology assessment (HTA) has been identified as a national priority by a wide range of decision‐makers at the same time that a provincial cost constraint process has decreased available funding. The contribution of the British Columbia Office of Health Technology Assessment is outlined in this paper along with consideration of ways in which both funding and the inclusion of HTA into health policy decision making can become more stable. An expanded HTA assessment framework to dovetail with increasing interest in equity issues is discussed.
