Changing Health Technology Assessment Paradigms?

OBJECTIVES Health technology assessment (HTA) has to innovate to best support changing health system environments and to help provide access to valuable innovation under fiscal constraint. METHODS Issues associated with changing HTA paradigms were identified through scoping and explored through deliberation at a meeting of industry and HTA leaders. RESULTS Five broad areas of change (engage...

Paradigmatic shifts in occlusion and temporomandibular disorders.

There are several terms that identify proposed paradigms for the way things ought to be carried out in the health sciences: evidence-based, cause-and-effect, diagnostic gold-standard, patient-centred-outcomes, risk assessment, cost/benefit/risk, and efficacious/effective. Collectively these paradigms exhibit varying degrees of interdependence, and have the potential for changing the way dentist...

Changing Therapeutic Paradigms: Predicting mCRC Lesion Response to Selective Internal Radionuclide Therapy (SIRT) based on Critical Absorbed Dose Thresholds: A Case Study

A 65 year old male with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) in the liver was referred for selective internal radionuclide therapy (SIRT) following a history of extensive systemic chemotherapy. 90Y PET imaging was performed immediately after treatment and used to confirm lesion targeting and measure individual lesion absorbed doses. Lesion dosimetry was highly predictive of eventual response in ...
