Like the academic hospitals worldwide, the Finnish university hospitals are under increasing economical pressures seeking ways to re-assess their traditional missions. It is strongly felt that new solutions within the field of evaluative sciences could bring added value to university hospitals. In this vein, university hospitals must take a leading position in assessing efficacy, (cost-)effectiveness and, ultimately, cost-utility of both traditional and emerging clinical technologies. This will affect the research culture of university hospitals both profoundly and permanently.
与全球范围内的学术型医院一样，芬兰的大学医院也面临着越来越大的经济压力，正在寻求重新评估其传统使命的方法。人们强烈认为，评估科学领域的新解决方案可以为大学医院带来附加价值。为此，大学医院必须在评估传统和新兴临床技术的疗效、（成本）效益以及最终的成本效用方面发挥主导作用。这将对大学医院的研究文化产生深远而持久的影响。
