Institute of Health Economics and Technology Assessment Technology Assessment in Health Care in Australia [Elektronische Daten] [Paul F. Gross] In 1977, in the middle of a protracted debate on the costs and methods of paying for health care, the federal minister for health established a Committee on Applications and Costs of Modern Technology in Medical Practice. In 1978, the committee produced its report, which reviewed a number of cost containment strategies, including the reduction or regulation of fees paid to medical practitioners for specific procedures. It recommended that a national panel be established to collect information on medical technology and advise on its introduction in Australia. In 1982, the National Health Technology Advisory Panel (NHTAP) was created to identify and examine existing and emerging medical technology, to determine methods and priorities for assessment, and to make recommendations to the minister for health with respect to assessment and funding of new technology.
