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.

Download or read book Health Technology Assessment and Health Policy making in Europe written by Marcial Velasco Garrido and published by WHO Regional Office Europe. This book was released on 2008 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies with the potential to improve the health of populations are continuously being introduced. But not every technological development results in clear health gains. Health technology assessment provides evidence-based information on the coverage and usage of health technologies, enabling them to be evaluated properly and applied to health care efficaciously, promoting the most effective ones while also taking into account organizational, societal and ethical issues. This book reviews the relationship between health technology assessment and policy-making, and examines how to increase the contribution such research makes to policy- and decision-making processes. By communicating the value and potential of health technology assessment to a wider audience, both within and beyond decision-making and health care management, it aims ultimately to contribute to improve the health status of the population through the delivery of optimum health services.
Download or read book Evidence Based Medicine and the Changing Nature of Health Care written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-09-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the work of the Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine, the 2007 IOM Annual Meeting assessed some of the rapidly occurring changes in health care related to new diagnostic and treatment tools, emerging genetic insights, the developments in information technology, and healthcare costs, and discussed the need for a stronger focus on evidence to ensure that the promise of scientific discovery and technological innovation is efficiently captured to provide the right care for the right patient at the right time. As new discoveries continue to expand the universe of medical interventions, treatments, and methods of care, the need for a more systematic approach to evidence development and application becomes increasingly critical. Without better information about the effectiveness of different treatment options, the resulting uncertainty can lead to the delivery of services that may be unnecessary, unproven, or even harmful. Improving the evidence-base for medicine holds great potential to increase the quality and efficiency of medical care. The Annual Meeting, held on October 8, 2007, brought together many of the nation's leading authorities on various aspects of the issues - both challenges and opportunities - to present their perspectives and engage in discussion with the IOM membership.
