The US Governments Financial Support to Push Comparative Effectiveness Research
The US Government’s Financial Support to Push Comparative Effectiveness
Research
Summary
GlobalData''s new report - ""The US Government’s Financial Support to Push
Comparative Effectiveness Research"", explores the US medical equipment industry
and the intricacies of the economic stimulus bill. The US Congress in the early
part of 2009 made available $1.1 billion in funds for comparative effectiveness
research as part of its economic stimulus program. The main goal of comparative
effectiveness research is to bring down the costs of drugs, devices and
treatments and make them available to all the patients. Comparative
effectiveness research provides relative positives and negatives of different
treatment options for the same disease condition. Such research provides
physicians and patients with information on which to base their clinical
decisions.
The healthcare industry and patients alike contend that cost alone shouldn’t be
the only criteria in deciding the treatment options for patients. Research may
help save costs in the short term but eventually in the long run the costs are
going to escalate further as patients do not receive the right treatment for
their medical condition. Decisions should be based on overall effectiveness of a
drug, device or treatment rather than on cost alone. Imposition of cost
constraints may lead to worse patients'' conditions and more importantly
increases the healthcare costs in the long term.
Comparative effectiveness research needs to expand its focus to studies that
encompass all aspects of the health care delivery system rather than just
concentrating on drugs, biologics and devices. The research should include
preventative services, emergency response and diagnostic tests to reflect the
various components of the overall healthcare delivery system.
