Development of the toolkit as well as selection of the CORE guiding principles is based on:

• facts and evidence from the research on HB-HTA carried out under the AdHopHTA project;
• an understanding of HB-HTA coming from the experience of AdHopHTA partners;
• experiences of other professionals working at HB-HTA units or working in HTA for hospitals in the EU.

(see detailed methodology of the AdHopHTA research project in the appendix 2 of the AdHopHTA handbook)
