Extract

A rapidly growing interest in medical technology assessment has been noted in Sweden during the last 5 years. This interest is reflected both in a variety of research efforts and in new organizational arrangements for coordination and stimulus of research. A special area of concern is a group of mechanisms to make the results of assessment useful to medical practitioners and in the political and administrative process within health care.
