During the virtual annual meeting of HTAi (http://htai2021.org) we provided a workshop that introduced participants to the VALIDATE approach. Our project leader, Gert Jan van der Wilt, introduced key concepts from the VALIDATE approach. Carla Fernandez Barceló provided a video presentation about her experiences with the VALIDATE training program, showing how she applied the approach in assessing the value of a clinical decision support system for improving medication adequacy. After the introduction of a case study, Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing, the participants applied concepts from the VALIDATE approach to this health technology and had an interesting discussion about how to assess its value.
The slides of the presentations by Gert Jan and Carla can be downloaded in the Downloads section.
