Introduction: The Brazilian Hospital Services Company (Ebserh) manages 41 Federal University Hospitals (HUF), currently with 36 Health Technology Assessment Centers (NATS). In the hospital context, NATS develop Health Technology Assessment (HTA) products to help managers make decisions and are essential for the sustainability of the Unified Health System. The effective implementation of NATS is still a challenge, due to the lack of specific guidelines for hospital HTA. Objective: To report on the work of Ebserh's HTA Working Group (GT-ATS) in drawing up a guide for structuring and strengthening NATS HUF. Experience Report: The GT-ATS was set up by ordinance, made up of representatives from NATS of HUF and from Ebserh's central administration. Initially, a survey about the processes involving the NATS and the practice of HTA at Ebserh was carried out to make a situational diagnosis. The guide was then drawn up based on the expertise of the GT-ATS members and the best practices and recommendations on hospital HTA identified in literature review. The "Guide for the organization and operation of NATS in the Ebserh network" was published in March 2023 on Ebserh's electronic portal and includes a contextualization of hospital HTA in Brazil, the objectives and scope of action of Ebserh's NATS, guidelines for the organization and operation of the centers and a model of internal regulations. Templates have also been drawn up for technical note, declaration of conflicts of interest, application form and confidentiality agreement. Conclusion: Through the Guide and the documents produced, the GT-ATS contributed to the institutionalization, harmonization and implementation of HTA processes in Ebserh hospitals, while respecting the heterogeneous contexts and maturity levels of the NATS. The collaborative work within the GT-ATS has allowed interdisciplinary knowledge and inter-institutional practices to be brought together, expanding the dimension, scope and effectiveness of HTA actions.
