Extract

The Council on Health Care Technology of the Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences, has published the Medical Technology Assessment Directory. The 712 page directory is an extensive compilation and description of activities in the field.

The publication is designed to help crystallize the subject matter of medical technology assessment and to identify and serve the emerging network of individuals, organizations, and institutions that generate and use technology assessments. The directory provides access to assessment people, programs, and resources to keep users up to date on developments in the field. It should be useful for reviewing available assessments of a particular technology before beginning an assessment project or making a decision on coverage, reimbursement, acquisition, medical practice, or standard setting.

The directory includes profiles of 68 assessment programs and a total of approximately 3,200 bibliographic citations of their assessment reports. These programs are located in public and private sector organizations, including professional, scientific, and industry associations, biomedical research institutions, educational institutions, government advisory bodies, regulatory agencies, third party payers, policy institutes, and for-profit corporations.
