AETMIS - About the Agency

The Agence d’évaluation des technologies et des modes d’intervention en santé (AETMIS, the Québec government agency responsible for health services and technology assessment) is an independent organization that reports to Québec's Minister of Health and Social Services. Its mission is to advise the Department and to support, by means of assessment, decision-makers in the Québec healthcare sector. Its assessments focus on the introduction, acquisition and use of health technologies, and on the methods of dispensing and organizing services.

Promoting assessment, transferring knowledge, training and outreach activities are also at the heart of its mission.
