| Abstract

|
"Innovation in medical technology drives improvement in the quality of health care but also the unsustainable increase in costs. This book analyzes methods of technology regulation, insurance, payment, pricing, and use, and highlights ways in which they should be reformed. The goal is to improve the value of drugs, devices, and other innovative technologies to achieve better performance at lower cost."--Provided by publisher
