Surgeon's views of health technology assessment in Australia: Online pilot survey
No full textIntroduction: Many governments have introduced health technology assessment (HTA) as an important tool to manage the uptake and use of health-related technologies efficiently. Although surgeons play a central role in the uptake and diffusion of new technologies, little is known about their opinion and understanding of the HTA role and process. Methods: A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted using an online questionnaire which was distributed to Fellows of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons over a 4-week period. Information was sought about knowledge and views of the HTA process. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, frequencies, and proportions were calculated. Results: Sixty-two surgeons completed the survey; of these, 55 percent reported their primary work place as a public hospital. Twenty-four percent of the participants reported that they had never heard of the HTA agency and 60 percent reported that surgical procedures are most likely to be introduced in the Australian healthcare system at the public hospital level (which is beyond the HTA's scope and dealt with at a state level). However, 61 percent considered that decisions about funding and adoption of new technologies should take place at the national level. Conclusions: This survey provides some evidence that many surgeons remain unaware of the federal government's HTA process but still value evidence-based information. In order for HTA to be an effective aid to rational adoption of health-related technologies, there is a need for an evidence-based approach that is integrated and is accepted and understood by the medical professions.Gisselle Gallego, Kees van Gool, Robert Casey, Guy Madder
De Beste Eventyrene
No full textFirst created and published by Creations for Children International in Belgium. This was a desperate purchase at a fine new book shop in Oslo when I seemed unable to find any fable books at all. A later visit to Oslo would change that perception. In the meantime, the saleswoman was very understanding: These Norwegians don't know what fables are. We don't get many fable books here. In this version, the Kaiser gets down to a nightshirt. The title-page is clever by hiding him from our view behind a full-size mirror into which he must be gazing. The artistry follows the style of comics or bandes dessinées. His deceivers seem to be a fox and a duck, but then apparently all the townsfolk except the Kaiser are animals. The minister and servants, for example, seem to be dogs. The child here seems to be a male, and his comment brings laughter out of the population. What I can perceive of the book does not rate high marks.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: NorwegianHans Christian Andersen; oversatt og gjenfortalt av Conrad Howar
