Systematic reviews and health technology assessments Staff at KSR Ltd have many years experience in preparing systematic reviews and health technology assessments of therapeutic, screening and diagnostic interventions. Such reviews can be used to support policy making, licensing and reimbursement decisions, local decision making about commissioning health services, fourth hurdle processes (such as for NICE in the UK, or for IQWiG in Germany), and guideline development. We have extensive experience in all these areas and our names appear as authors on numerous journal publications, technology assessment reports for NICE and systematic reviews for IQWiG, health technology assessment reports, and guidelines.
