Technology Assessment is the study and evaluation of new technologies. It is based on the premise that developments and discoveries within the scientific and medical communities are relevant to the population at large. Proper technology assessment is an approach that is vital to address the current limitations of the worker's compensation system. The aim of this presentation is to discuss the need for objective diagnostic tools, such as Electrodiagnostic Functional Assessment (EFA), in the workers' compensation system with a focus on musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Workers' compensation musculoskeletal claims may benefit from a wireless assessment to diagnose and monitor soft tissue injuries and this technology may be applicable to wellness and healthcare programs.
技术评估是对新技术的研究与评估。它基于这样一个前提，即科学和医学领域的发展与发现与广大民众相关。恰当的技术评估是一种对于解决当前工伤赔偿系统局限性至关重要的方法。本报告的目的是讨论工伤赔偿系统中对客观诊断工具的需求，例如电诊断功能评估（EFA），重点关注肌肉骨骼疾病（MSD）。工伤赔偿中的肌肉骨骼索赔可能受益于无线评估以诊断和监测软组织损伤，并且这项技术可能适用于健康和医疗保健项目。
