How progress in medicine will be financed in the future is an important issue internationally and in Germany. Medical Technology Assessment is an interdisciplinary concept that proposes solutions to this issue. This article deals with health political measures which should be taken to implement Medical Technology Assessment in the German health care system. Five proposals are developed: Establishing a coordinating and communication unit for Medical Technology Assessment. Intensifying the research into efficient health care. Increasing the use of Medical Technology Assessment in coverage decisions. Increasing consumer participation in coverage decisions. Establishing a competitive order for the use of expensive technology.
未来医学进步的资金将如何筹集，这在国际上和德国都是一个重要问题。医学技术评估是一个跨学科概念，为这个问题提出了解决方案。本文探讨了在德国医疗保健系统中实施医学技术评估应采取的卫生政策措施。提出了五项建议：设立医学技术评估协调与沟通单位；加强对高效医疗保健的研究；在保险覆盖决策中增加医学技术评估的应用；增加消费者在保险覆盖决策中的参与度；建立昂贵技术使用的竞争秩序。
