[HTA in the decision-making processes of health care institutions. Current state and relevant questions of regulatory health law].
The development of the German HTA system and the corresponding HTA law began in 2000 and was concluded for the time being with the coming into force of the law on the modernisation of statutory health insurance on 1 January 2004. This law has established the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) and the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) as "new institutions" of statutory health insurance, restructured the procedures for the assessment of health services and formulated more precise assessment criteria than hitherto provided. There are other institutions in the health care system concerned with HTA which are not dealt with here.
