Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic brought up the need for more accurate assessments of health technologies. Up to now, innovative medicines, as core of evaluations, let aside relevant aspects of the medical acts. The systematisation of treatments, protocols, procedures, policies and units, poorly managed by now, claim for assessments, standards, adequate policies, correct medical flows, suitable buildings’ use, according to international requirements. The research focuses on the advantages of standardisation and multidimensional evaluation’s influence on the health sector and medical affairs as profitable businesses. Befitted procedures build resilience and give use to the added value for people, business and society. The comparative analyses show that health technologies assessment’s alignment with international requirements brings all medical businesses to conformity and assures their fair, legal and ethical regularity and consistency.
