CADTH Optimal Use reports, now renamed to Health Technology Review, are intended to encourage ideal prescribing, purchasing, and use of drugs or other health technologies by health care providers, policy-makers, and consumers. Generally, these are drugs or health technologies that have been available in the marketplace for some time. An Optimal Use project results in a series of documents — typically clinical and economic review reports as well as a recommendations report. CADTH Optimal Use projects are carried out in collaboration with a committee or panel comprising subject‐matter experts, public representatives, and other stakeholders from across Canada.

The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) is an independent, not-for-profit producer and broker of health technology assessments. Health care decision-makers rely on our work to make evidence-informed policy and practice decisions about drugs and other health technologies.

CADTH Optimal Use Reports was renamed to Health Technology Review on on Oct. 29, 2021, with volume 9.3c.
