Evaluation Cycle
The MSAC Assessment Process
The MSAC adopts an evidence-based approach to assessments of new medical technologies and procedures. It undertakes a transparent assessment approach by following a standard evaluation cycle in consultation with stakeholders. The MSAC assessment cycle involves five stages from application to possible funding, as indicated in figure one. MSAC's role ends with the formulation of advice to the Minister for Health and Ageing. Even though the MSAC is not directly involved with Stage 5, it is included to show the completion of the assessment process.
