NSW Health has a standardised approach to implementing health technology 

Local health districts and specialty health networks are to develop local processes to identify, access, fund and evaluate new health technologies. A factsheet details the recommended process from identification of a new health technology through to its implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

NSW Health entities are to make submissions to the NSW Health New Technologies and Specialised Services Committee for new and emerging health technologies that may require centralised planning, governance, oversight, purchasing, evaluation and/or monitoring across NSW.

The New Technologies and Specialised Services Committee oversee the NSW Ministry of Health's technology processes, and are responsible for the review, assessment and implementation of new health technologies.

New technologies are assessed against six factors as per the Prioritisation and Assessment Matrix:
  • clinical needs
  • equity of access
  • materiality
  • level of evidence
  • economic feasibility
  • policy congruence.
Submissions will only be accepted from the Chief Executive of a NSW Health pillar, district, network, or a Deputy Secretary NSW Ministry of Health. Applicants can submit the DOCNew Health Technology Submission Form to MOH‑HealthTech@health.nsw.gov.au.
 
See the New Health Technologies and Specialised Services​ guideline for more information.
