Grutters et al show that economic assessments can inform the development of new health technologies at an early stage. This is an important contribution to health services and policy research, which implies a "shift away" from the more traditional forms of academic health economic modeling. Because transforming established disciplinary traditions is both valuable and demanding, we invite scholars to further the discussion on how the value of health innovations should be appraised in view of today's societal challenges.
格鲁特斯等人表明,经济评估可以在早期为新的卫生技术的发展提供信息。这是对卫生服务和政策研究的一个重要贡献,意味着“背离”更传统的卫生经济学术建模形式。因为转变既定的学科传统既具有价值又具有挑战性,我们邀请学者们进一步讨论如何根据当今的社会挑战来评估卫生创新的价值。
