医院技术决策者现在面临着越来越多的信息技术 (IT) 和主要医疗设备，这对传统的资本分配流程提出了挑战。在由医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心 (CMS) 以及私人保险公司制定的承保范围和报销政策驱动的高度分散的行业中，医院技术投资决策的累积影响影响了数十年的医疗保健。我们提出了一个发展国家合作的框架，以规划和评估新兴技术，旨在提高医院决策的质量和效率。更广泛地应用技术评估将限制不适当的技术采用和使用。
Hospital technology decisionmakers now confront a growing pipeline of information technology (IT) and major medical equipment that challenges traditional capital allocation processes. In a highly fragmented industry that is driven by coverage and reimbursement policies set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and private insurers, the cumulative impact of hospitals' technology investment decisions shapes health care for decades. We propose a framework for the development of a national collaboration for the planning and assessment of emerging technologies, designed to improve the quality and efficiency of hospital decisions. Broader application of technology assessment would restrain inappropriate technology adoption and use.
