Description

The purpose of this report is to examine, from an actuarial perspective, how well current evaluation techniques serve the needs of key decision-makers, such as payers, providers and consumers, and to provide guidance on how to apply the various techniques during the decision-making process. This evaluation will be based on two assessments prepared by the sponsor of this research, the Peterson Health Technology Institute (PHTI), a nonprofit initiative that provides independent evaluations of innovative digital health technologies to improve health and lower costs. Using evidence-based research, PHTI analyzes not only the clinical benefits of a new technology and its potential financial impact, but also the impact on equity, privacy and security.
