Recommendations
VISIBILITY:
• Creating and maintaining a common database of ongoing projects to
facilitate inter-agency coordination and the creation of synergies.
• A scientific repository operated and maintained jointly by the AUnETS
network should be implemented.
VERSIONS: VERSIONS:
• A short version for HTA products, should be systematically created.
• A scientific paper targeted at the research audience.
DOCUMENTAL SUPPORTS:
• Use of electronic support whenever possible: browseble PDF format
• New supports: e-books, format for mobile devices…
Recommendations
CHANNELS
• Use of web 2.0 and social networking sites should multiply the point
access to the reports.
• The request of a space for HTA products within the national journals
specialized in the field of health-care administration and management.
• Issuing a common electronic bulletin for HTA agencies or a blog.
• Boost AuNets website in order to give it more functionalities and make it
more friendly for internal users and citizens.
GLOSSARY
• Normalize the denomination of documents by a common glossary.
