The Toronto Health Economics and Technology Assessment (THETA) Collaborative is a multi-disciplinary research group supporting effective policy decision-making regarding new drugs and health technologies in Ontario.
More [+]
We do this in several ways:
- synthesizing the best scientific evidence on efficacy, effectiveness, costs, and health-related values
- creating new evidence
- presenting evidence to decision-makers so that scientific evidence and the public's values guide policy decisions, and
- training individuals in the discipline of health technology assessment (HTA).
THETA is funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and works in partnership with the following:
- Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (IHPME), Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto (lead academic partner)
- Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto
- University Health Network, Toronto
- Cancer Care Ontario, Toronto.
THETA was established in July 2007.

Upcoming Events
2013/05/29PLEASE SAVE THE DATE - THETA KT DayTHETA would like to invite you to our fourth annual "Knowledge Translation to Policy" Day, on Wednes ... More [+]day, May 29th, 2013.
This year’s topic will focus on early health technology assessment (i.e. “Early HTA”). This new HTA research model is emerging, in which scientists, payers, and innovators work together early in the technology development process. This ensures that the clinical evidence will meet the needs of payers (e.g. Ministries of Health) and regulators (e.g. Health Canada) when it is brought to market, and is consonant with the needs of users.
We think it will be an interesting and interactive day, and look forward to seeing you there. Please RSVP to Mildred Lim (info@theta.utoronto.ca) by April 12th.Less [-]
