Monica Hultcrantz

I am head of HTA Region Stockholm at Centre for Health Economics, Informatics
and Health Services Research (CHIS) and affiliated researcher to LIME at KI.
At HTA Region Stockholm we work with Health Technology Assessments (HTA)
examining the consequences of using an intervention compared to existing
alternatives in health care. An HTA is a systematic approach to assess
clinical studies on benefits and harms as well as e.g., economic implications
and ethical issues of an intervention. The purpose is to inform
decision-making in order to promote an equitable, efficient, and high-quality
health system.
The most part of my career I have spent leading the work with HTAs as well as
developing methods and conducting research related to HTA, with a main focus
on GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation).
I am a member of the GRADE Guidance Group as well as a co-lead of the
Nordic GRADE Network. On a national level I am a member of the
National working group on HTA/health economy and Cochrane
Sweden’s advisory board.
