Executive Summary
The US Health Industry Manufacturers Association (HIMA) has chosen RAND Health, a private, not-for-profit research institution, to conduct a study on the adoption of new medical technology in managed care settings. The study will identify how managed care firms currently review and pay for technology, as well as how device manufacturers participate and prepare for this process. Its aims include finding ways of improving the process by which new medical technologies are developed, evaluated, and adopted or rejected for coverage.
