Description
This report presents one example of the advocacy of evidence-based medicine in the hospital setting, namely the Laser Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) Technology Assessment (TA) project at the greater Victoria Hospital Society (GVHS). The report begins with a definition of health technology assessment (HTA), then describes the Technology Assessment Committee (TAC) at GVHS, and provides background material on surgical treatment of BPH in general, and laser treatment in particular. The report describes how the TAC brought together, into one venue, representatives from four disparate groups. Although the TAC brought the groups together, it did not bring about consensus, as each group entered into, and largely maintained, a different conceptual framework, value system, and practical agenda, with: the laser industry arguing "the needs for progress"; the GVHS urologists and administrators arguing "the need to compete with other hospitals"; BCOHTA arguing "the need for research and evaluation". The report then focusses on debates about efficacy and effectiveness evidence. The report concludes that integrating an appraisal of the efficacy and effectiveness evidence into the TA process, while helping to clarify the state of knowledge for laser treatment of BPH, does not solve the problem of deciding which technology to purchase for treatment of BPH. Rather, adding a critical appraisal of the effectiveness claims to systematic review and debate.
