Evidence-Based Medicine/New Medical Technology
New medical technologies, along with new uses for old technologies,
are widely viewed as key drivers of rising health care spending.
Improved outcomes justify the higher costs in some cases, but the
fragmented way in which U.S. health care adopts technology strongly
suggests that much new spending produces little clinical value.
IHP’s work seeks to help put technology adoption on a more
evidence-based footing through generating better evidence; making
better use of existing evidence in clinical, insurance, and reimbursement
decisions; and by increasing public awareness and acceptance that
“new and more is not always better.”
