The list is meant to highlight important new or emerging issues in healthcare with intentions of improving safety and cost effectiveness, the ECRI Institute said.
“Taking an evidence-based, ‘just the facts’ approach to assessing new healthcare innovations—from gadgets to drugs to infrastructure issues—that have been on our radar for the last year, we present hospital leaders with unbiased guidance to support informed decision making and help them understand how new innovations will affect care delivery,” health technology assessment director Diane Robertson said in a press release.
