Analysis calls for medical device information to better serve patients and doctors
Date:1/31/2008

t-oriented outcomes, not surrogate markers. For example, we want to see improvements in disease-free survival and patient quality of life, not just a reduction in tumor size.

Topics can be brought to the boards attention by all potential stakeholders, including health plans, industry, professional societies and consumer groups. Once findings are presented, the technologys manufacturer has the opportunity to give testimony, and eventually the board makes recommendations based on the body of information presented.

We cover it all, from evaluating technologies used in genetic testing, radiation treatment for prostate cancer, digital mammography, computerized prosthetics and pre-natal screening to Positron Emission Tomography scans, Tice said.

Eventually, the authors suggest, independent review boards should summarize their findings into uncomplicated take-home messages that patients can easily find on their own.
