title: Technology assessment in health care--decision makers and health care providers: what they need to know.
abstract: The assessment of a new technology requires decision makers to gather information in many different fields. The questions addressed are technical, medical, ethical, legal and economic in nature. Learning from the experience of our own country and of others, we present here the sum of the information we deem necessary to decide on whether to adopt a new technology or not, and which strategy to choose for its implementation.
