Abstract

Introduction: In Brazil, the Brazilian Network of Health Technology Assessment (Rebrats) seeks to bridge the gap between research, policy and management, providing subsidies for merger decisions. It is formed by educational and research institutions focused on the generation and synthesis of scientific evidence to assess effects and efficiency of technology for SUS. Operating in a network like Rebrats, it is important to strengthen the capacity of conducting Health Technology Assessment studies as well as contribute to the continuing education of professionals, reduce duplication at work and allow for more efficient sharing of knowledge and information.
Objective: Identify the scientific collaboration relations between the authors who produced and disseminated the results of different studies ‑ Systematic Reviews, Rapid Reviews, Economic Evaluation ‑ included in the Rebrats Information System, registered in the period of 2009 to September 2014.
Methods: The social network analysis was the methodology employed. We analyzed the degree of authors (number of collaborations) equal to or greater than 29.
Results and conclusions: As a result, a network was shown containing 1094 authors (nodes) and 4998 edges (relationships). For further analysis, it is considered essential to assess the influences of Rebrats in the field of management, regulation and health care provided under the SUS, in order to understand how collaborative network help optimizing these processes.
