TL;DR
Examination of examples in other fields of health policy decision making can provide important pointers for the development of valid methodologies in health technology assessment.
Abstract
Health technology assessment has predominantly been carried out by scientific and health policy experts, but the involvement of users is becoming increasingly important. At present, robust examples of the integration of lay knowledge in health technology assessment are limited, but examination of examples in other fields of health policy decision making can provide important pointers for the development of valid methodologies.

This paper has assumed that clinicians want to do what is best for their patients but that what is thought to be right is very varied, and that if clinicians are given sound evidence that a practice is better they will adopt it or stop a practice shown to be of little or no benefit or even to be harmful.
