    State governments are exploring medical technology assessment to control rising healthcare costs and improve patient care. These programs, though nascent, aim to guide technology use and inform consumers and providers.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Health Policy Analysis
    • Medical Technology Assessment

    Background:

    • State governments are increasingly involved in evaluating medical technologies.
    • Rising healthcare costs driven by technological advancements necessitate governmental oversight.
    • Existing state programs in Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington serve as case studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline state government activities in medical technology assessment.
    • To discuss challenges and opportunities in state-level technology evaluation.
    • To inform policy development for cost containment and appropriate technology use.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of state government technology assessment programs.
    • Analysis of clinically oriented activities at the state level.
