Abstract:
Innovation is an important stimulus of the economy and the healthcare system. Two components may inhibit innovations, an increased risk of the developers to market their innovations and an increased risk of the public to increase the costs due to uncontrolled use of innovations. New information can contribute to controlling both risks. We use the term "outcomes research" to describe the new working field that generates this information. The need for outcomes research is described. To differentiate clinical research from outcomes research, we demonstrate that these two fields of research pursue different goals, use different methods, and finally generate different types of results.
