This book was released on 1995 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New medical technologies hold both the promise of significant health benefits and the prospect of additional health care spending. Private health insurance companies-through which most health care is paid for-shoulder a considerable responsibility in deciding which new technologies will be covered by insurance, and when in the cycle of development the time arrives to approve coverage. In general, insurance coverage is denied for technologies that are considered unproved or experimental. Despite the obvious importance of these decisions, relatively little systematic information is available about the procedures that insurers go through and the criteria they use to weigh the evidence. This background paper presents some empirical information on how insurers consider payment for new medical devices. It describes the survey results of medical directors affiliated with private health insurers about their coverage decisions using, as examples, three applications of lasers: laser angioplasty for opening narrowed or blocked coronary arteries; laser discectomy for treating herniated intervertebral discs; and photodynamic therapy (using a light-sensitive dye) for bladder cancer.

Download or read book Innovation in Medical Technology written by Margaret L. Eaton and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2007-02-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking study examines the ethical, legal, and social problems that arise with cutting-edge medical technology. Using as examples four powerful and largely unregulated technologies—off-label use of drugs, innovative surgery, assisted reproduction, and neuroimaging—Margaret L. Eaton and Donald Kennedy illustrate the difficult challenges faced by clinicians, researchers, and policy makers who seek to advance the frontiers of medicine safely and responsibly. Supported by medical history and case studies and drawing on reports from dozens of experts, the authors address important practical, ethical, and policy issues. They consider topics such as the responsible introduction of new medical products and services, the importance of patient consent, the extent of the duty to mitigate harm, and the responsibility to facilitate access to new medical therapies. This work's insights into the nature and consequences of medical innovation contribute to the national debate on how best to protect patients while fostering innovation and securing benefits.

Download or read book Assessing Medical Technologies written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1985-02-01 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New drugs, new devices, improved surgical techniques, and innovative diagnostic procedures and equipment emerge rapidly. But development of these technologies has outpaced evaluation of their safety, efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and ethical and social consequences. This volume, which is "strongly recommended" by The New England Journal of Medicine "to all those interested in the future of the practice of medicine," examines how new discoveries can be translated into better care, and how the current system's inefficiencies prevent effective health care delivery. In addition, the book offers detailed profiles of 20 organizations currently involved in medical technology assessment, and proposes ways to organize U.S. efforts and create a coordinated national system for evaluating new medical treatments and technology.
