Extract

Technology assessment in health care seeks to evaluate intended and unintended consequences of the use of technology across a broad range that includes health, economic, legal, ethical, and other social implications. In conducting such evaluations, analysts draw on methods and information from an equally broad range of disciplines. The field of technology assessment thus itself conforms to the definition of a technology, that is, the application of knowledge to a purpose.
