Economic analysis of health care technology: a report on principles

Article Abstract:

A task force has published new guidelines in an effort to boost the credibility of economic outcomes research. Health care technology studies aim to make full use of medical innovations within limited financial resources. Most often, there are two types of bias involved. Researchers may not be conducting studies independently and studies may lack uniform methodology. Sponsor and researcher must agree on many issues, including study design, control and ownership of data, project control, conflicts of interest, and final authorship. The task force recommends the following for reporting economic outcomes research. Evaluations should state the purpose of the study, offer justified pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical alternatives, describe all levels of expense, and include all relevant outcomes. The final cost-benefit analysis should also leave room for generalizing the findings to all patients.
