Technology Reports

Technology Reports represent our most comprehensive assessments of health care technologies and services. These reports examine more mature technologies, for which there is a larger and higher quality body of evidence available. The technology’s clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness are examined, as well as the social, ethical, and economic implications of its use, compared with alternative treatments. Information is also included about patient indications, current treatment practices, regulatory issues, adverse effects, and health services impact. Our standardized report format allows readers to quickly locate the information and analysis that they need. Technology Reports include a Report in Brief and an Executive Summary that highlight the key findings and policy implications. Each Technology Report is extensively peer reviewed by internal staff, and by external clinical and methodological experts.

Printed copies of Technology Reports are available, or an electronic (pdf) version may be downloaded.
