Most HTA organizations have professionals dedicated to information management. These information specialists contribute throughout the development of the HTA, and often beyond its completion in dissemination activities. Knowledge in information science, along with subject knowledge, appears to be indispensable for the fulfilment of their work. Despite the small sample size in this survey it offers some preliminary information which may serve as a guide for establishing or improving HTA information management systems.
