Patient and public involvement in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is gaining increased interest among research and policy communities. Patients' organizations represent an important link between individual patients and the health system. Social theories are increasingly being used to explain doctor-patient-system interactions, expanding understanding beyond the mere clinical perspective. In this sense, patient involvement in HTA can also be considered through the Habermas's theory of communicative action. From a Habermasian perspective, HTA as part of the instrumental rationality contributes to an increased efficiency of resource use within the system; however, such rationalization threatens to colonize the lifeworld by making it "increasingly state administered with attenuated possibilities for communicative action as a result of the commercialization and rationalization in terms of immediate returns." Using Habermasian system/lifeworld framework, this paper explores opportunities and obstacles to patient involvement in HTA, whereby trying to understand current and possible roles of patients' organizations as a mediating force between HTA as a function of the system and the lifeworld represented by patients. |
