Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is a multidisciplinary field of study which seeks to analyze health technologies development, diffusion and use and their clinical, social, economic and ethical implications. The defining process of HTA methodological guidelines requires consensus building among a broad range of experts and decision makers in the elaboration of a scientific robust document. In Brazil, since the creation of the Brazilian Network for Health Technology Assessment (REBRATS) in 2008, the elaboration of HTA guidelines has been performed through a collaborative process between network members. This process has contributed not only to the HTA methodological standardization, but also to structure an assessment intelligence network in Brazil. This article aims to discuss the structure and dynamics of this evaluative intelligence and how it has improved over time.
