Medicare and the rise of American medical patenting : the economics of user-driven innovation
Clemens, Jeffrey; Olsen, Morten - 2021
Innovation is part idea generation and part development. We build a model of "innovating-by-doing," whereby ideas come … to practitioners. Successful innovation requires that practitioners' ideas be developed through costly effort. Our model ….S. Medicare program on medical equipment innovation. Our model’s structure allows us to infer the Medicare program's aggregate …

Medizinisch-technischer Fortschritt : theoretische Grundlagen, Regelungsbereiche, Finanzierung und Vergütung
Reimers, Lutz - 2009 - 1. Auflage 2009
Abstract: Während technischer Fortschritt prinzipiell als wohlfahrtserhöhend gilt, ist seine Rolle im Gesundheitswesen weniger eindeutig. Zwar verbessert er Lebensqualität und -erwartung, ist aber auch eine wichtige Ursache steigender Gesundheitsausgaben. Die Arbeit zeigt Wege zu einem...

Magnetic resonance imaging : case histories of significant medical advances
Bhidé, Amar; Datar, Srikant M.; Stebbins, Katherine - 2019
We describe how and why Magnetic Resource Imaging (MRI) came to complement – and partially replace -- computed tomography (CT) imaging of soft tissue. Specifically we chronicle: 1) the development of foundational techniques and prototypes (through the 1970s); 2) initial commercialization and...

Mammography : case histories of significant medical advances
Bhidé, Amar; Datar, Srikant M.; Stebbins, Katherine - 2019
We describe how the development of x-ray-based techniques and equipment (“mammography”) lead to widespread screening for breast cancer and enabled “minimally invasive” biopsies of breast tumors. Specifically, we chronicle how: 1) new protocols and equipment catalyzed the first widespread...

Case histories of significant medical advances : ultrasound
Bhidé, Amar; Datar, Srikant M.; Stebbins, Katherine - 2019
We describe how efforts on multiple fronts, including advocacy, training and technological development made ultrasound the second most commonly used diagnostic imaging technology (after X-rays). Specifically, we chronicle: 1) ultrasound's development and introduction in the 1950s and 1960s; 2)...

Computed tomography : case histories of significant medical advances
Bhidé, Amar; Datar, Srikant M.; Stebbins, Katherine - 2019
We describe how Computed Tomography (CT) scanners - that combine x-rays and computers to image soft tissues of the brain and other organs -- have become a widely used diagnostic tool. Specifically, we chronicle the: 1) development of the first CT scanner (through the early-1970s); 2) rapid and...
