| Synopsis: |
Technology change in health care has lead to huge improvements in health services and the health status of populations. It is also pinpointed as the main driver of health care expenditures, which in turn explains that insurance mechanisms play an increasing role in affecting the extent of technical innovation. Besides remarkable benefits, technology changes are not free and often entail significant risks both financial as well as physical or social which need to be balanced out in the setting of government regulations, insurance contracts and individuals' decisions to use and consume certain technologies. This book will tackle these issues with the specific objectives of: identifying what technological change is about; identifying drivers of innovation in several health care areas; identifying existing mechanisms and processes for ensuring efficiency and development in the use of medical technologies; and identifying the net impact of advances in medical technology. |
