Health technology assessment is a type of evaluation of properties of the technology for
health, which address the direct or indirect effects and intended or unintended consequences of
the health assessment technology. Its aim is to inform the decision regarding the technologies of
health. It can also be defined as a method of synthesis for evidence which proves the
effectiveness of the clinical measures, the safety of the health care techniques and the cost-
effectiveness (Wroblewski, Siney & Fleming, 2016). It also describes the social, legal and the
ethical aspects of the use of the technologies of health. Health assessment technology is an
international field that has grown to achieve the support of the management, the clinical
necessities for a patient and the decisions of the policy. Decisions of the health policy are
becoming important as the cost of the opportunity is increasing. The HTA is now-a-days is used
as an innovative model of health technologies.
HTA Policy Framework
An effective process of HTA is very important for supporting the sustainable
management in the growth of the health technologies that are been subsidized. The consistencies
in the application of the evidence that are found in the Australian government are the important
factors which ensure that the stakeholders are confident about the processes which are
implemented in achieving the outcomes (Berstock et al., 2014).
HTA for Reimbursement
The government of Australia has accepted that two of the recommendations from the
HTA OF 2009 reviews that it provides a policy framework for the HTA process which is a need
for the entry and reimbursement in Australia. The recommendation of the HTA review report
provides the evidence that is consistently applied across all over the Australia and it ensures the

sustainability of the government of Australia those are financing the healthcare arrangements.
The framework of this policy includes the vision, objectives, goal, and principles. These points
provide a consistent and the systemic approach to HTA and a high-level statement of direction
which is needed for the implementation and the integration of the function of the HTA to form a
system that is coherent (Judge et al., 2014).
Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
The Australian Government's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) gives dependable,
convenient and moderate access to an extensive variety of prescriptions for all Australians. The
PBS gives a posting of drugs financed by the government so the cost to the shopper is less, in
some cases hundreds or thousands of dollars, than the cost of the prescription (Wallace et al.,
2014). The operations of the PBS are typified in National Health Act 1953 (Part VII) and in the
National Health (Pharmaceutical Benefits) Regulations under the Act. The PBS is by and large
refreshed month to month to incorporate new postings and the most recent changes.
Mutually dependent and Hybrid Technologies
Mutually dependent and a half and half advances can go from a solitary item with a few
segments to a few sorts of administrations connected along a clinical pathway. The utilization of
analytic testing, including hereditary testing, to refine persistent choice and qualification for
high-cost strategies, gadgets and especially drugs, and the proceeded with the improvement of
pharmaco-genomics, will give another way to deal with handling sickness, and difficulties for
their evaluation (Banaszkiewicz, 2014).

Introduction to Total Hip Replacement
Each time we move from our place to somewhere else we used to move our hip. Hence, if
we have a little bit of pain in the joints of the hip than that it will create a big difficulty in our
daily life activities. The pain of the hip joint can influence individuals of any age and it might
keep an individual away from the daily life activities they used to do (Svege et al., 2013). A
painful hip may even keep an individual from staying aware of your day by day exercises.
Reasons for hip torment might be:
 An old crack that didn't recuperate suitably
 A fundamental illness
 Wear and tear from years of consistent utilize, known as osteoarthritis.
Preferences and Benefits of Hip Replacement Surgery
 A add up to the replacement of hip can significantly decrease hip agony. After the
surgery, the pain from the hip is being reduced.
 Without suffering from the pain that is originated from the joint of the hip the individual
can move and do all their daily activities on their own and independently. This develops
the muscles around the hip joint and inside your leg (Banaszkiewicz, 2014).
 Without torment in your hip joint and with an expanded scope of movement, you'll have
the capacity to perform exercises of day by day living and different exercises that were
restricted by the pain before surgery.
