GALAN, Ana Pérez; RIGANTI, Alicia Alemán; REBOSIO, Ana Deminco  y  FERRARI, Alejandra. Social participation in the evaluation of health technologies: experiences from the region. Rev. Méd. Urug. [online]. 2024, vol.40, n.4, e601.  Epub 15-Nov-2024. ISSN 0303-3295.  https://doi.org/10.29193/rmu.40.4.11.

The evaluation of health technologies (HTE) assesses the impact of the use of so-called health technologies in a broad sense when incorporated into health systems or services. In recent decades, this discipline has seen significant development worldwide and incipient but progressive growth in our region. One of the methodological challenges it faces is the incorporation of various stakeholders involved in the evaluation process. This work focused on describing the different strategies for social participation implemented in relation to HTE in selected countries in the region: Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, with a view to defining possible strategies for our country. From the analysis, based on information from public institutions responsible for HTE and accounts from key informants, elements emerge to be considered in our country. On one hand, social participation is planned in the integration of HTE institutions in the three analyzed cases. Additionally, participation is anticipated in the different stages of the evaluation process, and numerous efforts are made to translate HTE reports into a language understandable to the general population. However, obstacles persist in the region regarding the legitimacy of participation in HTE, which are clearly identified even by those responsible for institutions that have developed the most successful experiences.
