Abstract

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a set of tutorials to use Gradepro for conducting health technology assessment. We first discuss the principles of the concepts of grading of evidence and the concepts of using Gradepro, then we will discuss using gradepro for conducting evidence appraisal for health technology assessment. Health technology assessment is a process where appraisal of technology and tools that are relevant for achieving quality of health care delivery and improving access are routinely undertaken. At the heart of the health technology assessment process is appraisal of evidence and application of that process. Using Gradepro we will achieve the process in a stepwise manner. Besides, Gradepro allows one to write a complete documentation on conducting health technology assessment and export the document to a format that then allows for othe changes as applicable.
