Health Technology Assessment Using Biostatistics to Break the Barriers of Adopting New Medicines

Health Technology Assessment Using Biostatistics to Break the Barriers of Adopting New Medicines

The term health technology refers to drugs devices and programs that can improve and extend quality of life. As decision-makers struggle to find ways to reduce costs while improving health care delivery health technology assessments (HTA) provide the evidence required to make better-informed decisions. This is the first book that focuses on the statistical options of HTAs to fully capture the value of health improvements along with their associated economic consequences. After reading the book readers will better understand why some health technologies receive regulatory or reimbursement approval while others do not what can be done to improve the chances of approval as well as common shortcomings of submissions for drug and device reimbursement. The book begins by contrasting the differences between regulatory approval and reimbursement approval. Next it reviews the principles and steps for conducting an HTA including the reasons why different agencies will have a different focus for their scope in the HTA. Supplying an accessible introduction to the various statistical options for different methods in an HTA the book identifies the links to regulatory and reimbursement decisions for each option. It highlights many of the methodological advances that have occurred since HTA research began to provide researchers and decision-makers with a cutting-edge framework. It also details the logical basis for the methods along with simple instructions on how to conduct the various techniques. Both authors have considerable experience in generating evidence for submissions and reviewing submissions to decision-makers for funding. One of the authors has also received a nationally recognized lifetime achievement award in this area. | Health Technology Assessment Using Biostatistics to Break the Barriers of Adopting New Medicines

Project Management for Healthcare

Project Management for Healthcare

Project Management for Healthcare Second Edition covers the significant changes in both the direction of healthcare and the direction of project management. The most significant change in healthcare is the prevalence of online data and the need for its protection. The book explains how data can be protected during a project’s lifecycle. The most significant change in project management is Agile and a new chapter covers how Agile can be applied to projects in healthcare. This new edition also covers green technology and sustainability. Exploring the discipline of project management from the perspective of the healthcare the book dissects the project process and covers the management skills required to successfully manage a project. By defining a project to include the tools and techniques required the book shows how to successfully deliver a project from identifying stakeholders and developing and gaining consensus on requirements to constructing a project plan. It also covers in detail the skills required to successfully manage project stakeholders and team members. At times healthcare personnel may have to work with program management or may even be part of program management and must interact with pharmaceutical companies and medical device manufacturers. This book covers program management and how it relates to the healthcare industry and some of the project processes used by those companies involved in pharmaceuticals and manufacturers of medical devices. By giving an inside look at the processes used the book gives an understanding of how those companies bring their products to market and how to adapt those processes for their own benefit. Managing healthcare projects using the discipline of project management is a skill that can help healthcare professionals better utilize limited resources both human and monetary and ensure the highest possible quality of care to meet or exceed their stakeholders’ expectations. Project Management for Healthcare Second Edition shows how to use the discipline of project management to achieve those goals successfully.

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

The term “mechatronics” was coined in 1969 merging “mecha” from mechanism and “tronics” from electronics to reflect the original idea at the basis of this discipline that is the integration of electrical and mechanical systems into a single device. The spread of this term and of mechatronics itself has been growing in the years including new aspects and disciplines like control engineering computer engineering and communication/information engineering. Nowadays mechatronics has a well-defined and fundamental role in strict relation with robotics. Drawing a sharp border between mechatronics and robotics is impossible as they share many technologies and objectives. Advanced robots could be defined as mechatronic devices equipped with a “smart brain” but there are also up-to-date mechatronic devices used in tight interaction with humans that are governed by smart architectures (for example for safety purposes). Aim of this book is to offer a wide overview of new research trends and challenges for both mechatronics and robotics through the contribution of researchers from different institutions providing their view on specific subjects they consider as “hot topics” in both fields with attention to new fields of application new challenges to the research communities and new technologies available. The reader of this book will enjoy the various contributions as they have been prepared with actual applications in mind along a journey from advanced actuators and sensors to human-robot interaction through robot control navigation planning and programming issues. The book presents several state-of-the-art solutions like multiple-stage actuation to cope with conflicting specification of large motion-spans ultra-high accuracy model-based control for high-tech mechatronic systems modern approaches of software systems engineering to robotics aand humanoids for human assistance. The reader can also find new techniques in approaching the design of mechatronic systems in some possible industrial and service robotics scenarios with a particular attention for the interaction between humans and mechanisms. | Mechatronics and Robotics New Trends and Challenges

Advanced VLSI Design and Testability Issues

Advanced VLSI Design and Testability Issues

This book facilitates the VLSI-interested individuals with not only in-depth knowledge but also the broad aspects of it by explaining its applications in different fields including image processing and biomedical. The deep understanding of basic concepts gives you the power to develop a new application aspect which is very well taken care of in this book by using simple language in explaining the concepts. In the VLSI world the importance of hardware description languages cannot be ignored as the designing of such dense and complex circuits is not possible without them. Both Verilog and VHDL languages are used here for designing. The current needs of high-performance integrated circuits (ICs) including low power devices and new emerging materials which can play a very important role in achieving new functionalities are the most interesting part of the book. The testing of VLSI circuits becomes more crucial than the designing of the circuits in this nanometer technology era. The role of fault simulation algorithms is very well explained and its implementation using Verilog is the key aspect of this book. This book is well organized into 20 chapters. Chapter 1 emphasizes on uses of FPGA on various image processing and biomedical applications. Then the descriptions enlighten the basic understanding of digital design from the perspective of HDL in Chapters 2–5. The performance enhancement with alternate material or geometry for silicon-based FET designs is focused in Chapters 6 and 7. Chapters 8 and 9 describe the study of bimolecular interactions with biosensing FETs. Chapters 10–13 deal with advanced FET structures available in various shapes materials such as nanowire HFET and their comparison in terms of device performance metrics calculation. Chapters 14–18 describe different application-specific VLSI design techniques and challenges for analog and digital circuit designs. Chapter 19 explains the VLSI testability issues with the description of simulation and its categorization into logic and fault simulation for test pattern generation using Verilog HDL. Chapter 20 deals with a secured VLSI design with hardware obfuscation by hiding the IC’s structure and function which makes it much more difficult to reverse engineer. | Advanced VLSI Design and Testability Issues
