Cost effectiveness in new technologies

The cost-effectiveness of the cytology laboratory and new cytology technologies in cervical cancer prevention.

The effect of changes in cytology laboratory costs, including the costs of new technologies, on the cost-effectiveness of cervical cancer prevention has not been studied. Using University of Iowa laboratory detection rates and costs, a decision model determined the cost-effectiveness of the laboratory with and without new technologies. Compared with not performing a cervicovaginal smear, the co...

Cost-effectiveness analysis in the assessment of diagnostic imaging technologies.

In many ways, diagnostic technologies differ from therapeutic medical technologies. Perhaps most important, diagnostic technologies do not generally directly affect long-term patient outcomes. Instead, the results of diagnostic tests can influence the care of patients; in that way, diagnostic tests may affect long-term outcomes. Because of this, the benefits associated with the use of a specifi...

Cost, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness.

Incremental or marginal cost-effectiveness ratios are founded on a number of assumptions that weaken their suitability as a way to balance competing economic and clinical priorities. We therefore propose a more relevant and responsible way to gauge the impact of clinical management strategies based on “consumer protection” principles—explicit disclosure of (1) the total magnitude of expected be...
