Extract

Technology assessment in its broadest sense is essential if the highest quality of health care is to be matched to available resources. The results of technology assessment will be meaningful only if they can be transferred in a manner that affects practice as well as policy. Therefore, although we are still far short of an effective system for technology assessment, it is not too early to begin grappling with the problems of transferring the results of such a system when it exists.

In considering future developments in information transfer, it is important to keep several caveats in mind.
