Wija Oortwijn and Laura Sampietro-Colom bring together an approach to evaluating healthcare technologies that considers empirical evidence alongside ethical and social values. The handbook asks how assessments can make those values explicit throughout the evaluation process.
The chapters introduce the fact–value distinction, problem framing, stakeholder perspectives and the organization of assessment. A recurring case study of non-invasive prenatal testing makes the framework concrete. Written for researchers, assessors and healthcare decision-makers, this is the complete publisher's version 2.0 of the VALIDATE handbook.
