AB  - OBJECTIVE: To describe the four types of horizon scanning (HS) outputs developed 
      by the National Committee for Health Technology Incorporation (CONITEC) and show 
      their main repercussions on the decision-making processes of the Brazilian 
      Ministry of Health (MH). METHODS: Descriptive study based on participant 
      observation and document analysis of HS outputs (internal reports, alert reports, 
      briefs and sections for CONITEC recommendation reports) developed between January 
      2014 and July 2018. RESULTS: Fifteen internal reports, six alert reports, two 
      briefs and 57 HS sections were produced. Each output has a specific structure 
      according to its purpose. The methodological approach adopted for developing HS 
      outputs in Brazil is described by EuroScan International Network. The outputs had 
      institutional and international repercussions. The activities resulted in the 
      inclusion of HS as a tool for reducing health lawsuits in the legal framework of 
      the MH. One of the internal reports on a high-cost drug not approved in Brazil 
      for a rare disease was requested by the Health Technology Assessments Network for 
      the Americas (RedETSA), showing the international relevance of the outputs. The 
      HS sections in recommendation reports influenced discussions about incorporating 
      technologies into the Unified Health System. CONCLUSIONS: The developed outputs 
      have purposes ranging from helping build arguments for defense of the MH in cases 
      of health judicialization to inform decision-making processes. In addition, HS 
      sections in recommendation reports have grown in importance recently. CONITEC's 
      HS system has been structured, and its role as a tool to inform health managers 
      has shown to be been relevant.
