Download or read book The Economics of New Health Technologies written by Joan Costa-Font and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological change in healthcare has led to huge improvements in health services and the health status of populations. It is also pinpointed as the main driver of healthcare expenditure. Although offering remarkable benefits, changes in technology are not free and often entail significant financial, as well as physical or social risks. These need to be balanced out in the setting of government regulations, insurance contracts, and individuals' decisions to use and consume certain technologies. With this in mind, this book addresses the following important objectives: to provide a detailed analysis of what technological change is; to identify drivers of innovation in several healthcare areas; to present existing mechanisms and processes for ensuring and valuing efficiency and development in the use of medical technologies; and to analyse the impact of advances in medical technology on health, healthcare expenditure, and health insurance. Each of the seventeen chapters summarizes an important issue concerning the innovation debate and contributes to a better understanding of the role innovation has both at the macro level and at the delivery (meso) and micro level in the healthcare sector. The effectiveness of innovation in improving people's welfare depends on its diffusion and inception by the relevant agents in the health production process, and this book recognizes the multi-faceted contribution of policy makers, regulators, managers, technicians, consumers and patients to this technology change. This book offers the first truly global economic analysis of healthcare technologies, taking the subject beyond simply economic evaluation, and exploring the behavioural aspects, organization and incentives for new technology developments, and the adoption and diffusion of these technologies.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early stages of planning the Third International Conference in System Science in Health Care, the steering committee members, most of whom had participated in the first conference in Paris (1976) and the second in Montreal (1980), made some basic decisions about organization of subject matter. The earlier meetings had been very successful in bringing together specialists from the health professions and the traditional sciences. In addition to physicians and nurses, these were representatives of the disciplines of the behavioral sciences, system theory, economics, engineering, and the emergency fields of management science and informatics -all concerned with the development of health resources in a broad system context. The reported research and experience of the many disciplines represented had dealt with one or more of three concerns: 1) a major health problem, such as cardiovascular disease, or an important popUlation at risk, such as the elderly or children or workers; 2) some generic aspect of organization and decision making, including trial and evaluation ofinnovative health strategies; and 3) the methodology of research and analysis in system of health service. The challenge to the conference organizers lay in the eliciting and arranging of experiences in such a way that the health services could be seen as purposeful,living, evolving systems.

Download or read book Demography Analysis and Synthesis Four Volume Set written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 2857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume collection of over 140 original chapters covers virtually everything of interest to demographers, sociologists, and others. Over 100 authors present population subjects in ways that provoke thinking and lead to the creation of new perspectives, not just facts and equations to be memorized. The articles follow a theory-methods-applications approach and so offer a kind of "one-stop shop" that is well suited for students and professors who need non-technical summaries, such as political scientists, public affairs specialists, and others. Unlike shorter handbooks, Demography: Analysis and Synthesis offers a long overdue, thorough treatment of the field. Choosing the analytical method that fits the data and the situation requires insights that the authors and editors of Demography: Analysis and Synthesis have explored and developed. This extended examination of demographic tools not only seeks to explain the analytical tools themselves, but also the relationships between general population dynamics and their natural, economic, social, political, and cultural environments. Limiting themselves to human populations only, the authors and editors cover subjects that range from the core building blocks of population change--fertility, mortality, and migration--to the consequences of demographic changes in the biological and health fields, population theories and doctrines, observation systems, and the teaching of demography. The international perspectives brought to these subjects is vital for those who want an unbiased, rounded overview of these complex, multifaceted subjects. Topics to be covered: * Population Dynamics and the Relationship Between Population Growth and Structure * The Determinants of Fertility * The Determinants of Mortality * The Determinants of Migration * Historical and Geographical Determinants of Population * The Effects of Population on Health, Economics, Culture, and the Environment * Population Policies * Data Collection Methods and Teaching about Population Studies * All chapters share a common format * Each chapter features several cross-references to other chapters * Tables, charts, and other non-text features are widespread * Each chapter contains at least 30 bibliographic citations

Download or read book Technology and Health Care in an Era of Limits written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. health care system is in a state of flux, and changes currently under way seem capable of exerting sizable effects on medical innovation. This volume explores how the rapid transition to managed care might affect the rate and direction of medical innovation. The experience with technological change in medicine in other nations whose health care systems have "single-payer" characteristics is thoroughly examined. Technology and Health Care in an Era of Limits examines how financing and care delivery strategies affect the decisions made by hospital administrators and physicians to adopt medical technologies. It also considers the patient's stake in the changing health care economy and the need for a stronger independent contribution of patients to the choice of technology used in their care. Finally, the volume explores the impact of changes in the demand for medical technology in pharmaceutical, medical device, and surgical procedure innovation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the innovative and more critical management approach adopted in the PA (Public Administration) in order to identify and describe the main models and instruments to economically evaluate the decision making process in accordance to the specific conditions such as efficiency, effectiveness, cost and equity. The manuscript pays special attention to this sector by identifying, investigating and applying the main evaluation models (logic and methods) of the decision making process, in particular in terms of investment decisions. In the recent decades, with reference to PA, several managerial approaches have been developed from a business management perspective. These managerial approaches differ in terms of variables analyzed, such as the role of governance or the specific logics and mechanisms applied, but all of them have a common goal, which is the improvement of efficiency, effectiveness, economic and equitable decision making and operations in the PA. This book investigates the different mentioned frameworks adopting a wider and integrated analysis perspective on the evaluation of investments in the health care system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'application des recommandations en évaluation médico-économique dans le cadre de la recherche hospitalière courante doit s'adapter à l'environnement et aux spécificités contextuelles des structures de soins. Plusieurs travaux ont été conduits afin d'évaluer la qualité des projets de recherche, d'identifier les obstacles rencontrés et de proposer des recommandations pour leur conduite. Dans cet objectif, notre travail a été composé de 4 parties : L'évaluation de la qualité des évaluations médico-économiques. Nous avons mené une analyse des études publiées dans le domaine de la chirurgie cardiaque, discipline particulièrement coûteuse et pourvoyeuse d'un grand nombre d'innovations technologiques. Les résultats de cette étude ont montré que la qualité des évaluations médico-économiques a considérablement augmenté sur la période, laquelle peut être encore améliorée, notamment sur les hypothèses retenues, le choix du modèle, et les sources d'hétérogénéité. L'identification des spécificités contextuelles diminuant la qualité des évaluations médico-économiques. Plusieurs éléments gênant les évaluations ont été identifiés : ces recherches ont dû s'adapter et des solutions méthodologiques ont été apportées, notamment une adaptation du design méthodologique du projet au contexte dans lequel il est mené. L'implémentation d'une nouvelle méthode d'évaluation des technologies de santé en milieu hospitalo-universitaire. La mini évaluation des technologies de santé (mini-HTA) permet d'évaluer l'implémentation d'une innovation dans un établissement de santé, en prenant en compte non seulement son efficacité, sa sécurité et son coût, mais également son impact organisationnel et budgétaire. L'élaboration de recommandations méthodologiques adaptées à l'évaluation médico-économique en milieu hospitalier. Ces travaux ont permis, en se basant sur les constats faits lors de nos précédents travaux, une évolution de la grille de recommandations en la développant et en l'adaptant à la recherche en milieu hospitalier, notamment en élargissant les possibilités de design d'études, en développant les points de vue possibles en EME, et en précisant les sources de données disponibles et adaptées pour la valorisation des coûts. D'après les résultats de nos travaux, la qualité des évaluations médico-économiques menées en milieu hospitalier, pourtant indispensables à l'aide à la décision en France, a progressé mais n'est pas encore suffisante pour l'aide à la décision. Les freins identifiés sont nombreux, aussi bien liés à la méconnaissance de la discipline qu'aux outils disponibles dans les établissements de santé pour conduire des évaluations de qualité internationale. Une nouvelle méthodologie, la mini-HTA, réalisée en amont des études cliniques, est proposée, en apportant une vision plus large de l'impact de l'introduction d'une innovation dans les établissements qui envisagent son adoption, notamment en intégrant l'analyse du contexte de l'implantation. Une version plus exigeante de la grille de recommandations, centrée sur les évaluations médico-économiques en milieu hospitalier, est proposée pour améliorer la qualité des projets d'évaluation menés sur cette thématique.

Download or read book Decision Making in a World of Comparative Effectiveness Research written by Howard G. Birnbaum and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade there has been a worldwide evolution in evidence-based medicine that focuses on real-world Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) to compare the effects of one medical treatment versus another in real world settings. While most of this burgeoning literature has focused on research findings, data and methods, Howard Birnbaum and Paul Greenberg (both of Analysis Group) have edited a book that provides a practical guide to decision making using the results of analysis and interpretation of CER. Decision Making in a World of Comparative Effectiveness contains chapters by senior industry executives, key opinion leaders, accomplished researchers, and leading attorneys involved in resolving disputes in the life sciences industry. The book is aimed at 'users' and 'decision makers' involved in the life sciences industry rather than those doing the actual research. This book appeals to those who commission CER within the life sciences industry (pharmaceutical, biologic, and device manufacturers), government (both public and private payers), as well as decision makers of all levels, both in the US and globally.

Download or read book Health Technologies and Decision Making written by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and published by OECD Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in health-related technologies have significant potential to expand knowledge of diseases and transform health service delivery. However, decisions about whether to purchase these technologies need to be based on high quality evidence about the likely impact on health care outcomes; and whilst many countries have invested in the production of health technology assessment, evidence about its use in decision-making is limited. This publication examines the use of evidence-based decision making in OECD health-care systems and considers how countries can successfully manage the opportunities and challenges arising from health-related technological developments.
