NICE is designing Health Technology Assessment innovation Laboratory (HTA Lab) in England

On June 15, 2022, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) announced designing Health Technology Assessment innovation Laboratory (HTA Lab), a new collaborative space for research and development.

Using collaborative and innovative approaches, the HTA Lab will enable NICE to work with the stakeholders and develop solutions to complex HTA issues, such as disruptive new health technologies and broader methods, processes, and policy issues. It will help drive solutions to current and future health challenges, taking innovation from the lab into practice.

The HTA Lab will use a "sandbox" approach to developing solutions to complex HTA problems. The "sandbox" concept was initiated in the financial sector to provide a safe space for businesses to push the boundaries and innovate new products and ways of working. Thus, explore approaches that may not fit within existing practices but have the potential for significant benefits if adopted as standard practice.
