Challenges and opportunities for technology assessment in medical informatics. Report of a MEDINFO '92 workshop.
Technology assessment in medical informatics is an emerging area. One of the recommendations of a joint IMIA-ISTAHC working conference (1990) was that this area should be further explored, e.g. by a special session at MEDINFO '92 and by a dedicated working group. The MEDINFO '92 workshop 'Challenges and opportunities for technology assessment in Medical Informatics' addressed these recommendations. It aimed to set the scene for a possible IMIA-ISTAHC working group. Prior to the workshop a questionnaire was distributed. This paper gives an overview of workshop and questionnaire results.
