PMID:  10113355     Owner:  NLM     Status:  MEDLINE    
Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The uncertainties about appropriateness and rates of use are unfolding against the backdrop of rising costs and an explosion in new biomedical and technological information. Achieving consensus in this environment is increasingly difficult as payers demand proof of effectiveness, consumers want access to the newest technology, and physicians struggle to assimilate new information. The net result is a drive toward practice standards or guidelines.
