Poster presented at the 12th Annual meeting of HTAi (June 2015, Oslo)

1. The new Vortal to offer services beyond the IRG
 Since 2005, the Interest
Sub-Group on Information
Resources (IRG) maintains
the HTAi Vortal, a selection
of web resources related to
HTA.
 In 2011, the Vortal was
renewed: the initial
collection of references was
divided into three sections
(HTA producers and
networks; selected HTA
resources, Career
development supporting
information).
 New functionalities and
services were also added
for the IRG workgroups, but
also for other Interest Sub-
Groups (ISGs). Those
changes raised the need of
a new governing policy.

 A new section has been developed within the Vortal to host the output from the IRG workgroup “SuRe Info”
(http://www.sure-info.org).
 Two dedicated page types were created:
 the “publication appraisal” provides a form to describe and comment articles,
 the “chapter” provides a page for guidance in information retrieval.

 The Vortal has now evolved
into a services platform
welcoming the output of
various IRG workgroups, but
also hosting custom
bibliographies created by
other HTAi ISGs.
 This latest service will be
advertised to all HTAi ISGs
during 2015, helping to
support global effort in
knowledge transfer to Health
Policy and practice.
