The Economics of Cardiac Failure [PDF]
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, 1996 Quality assurance and inclusion of prospective evaluation of costs of treatment in phase 3 and 4 pharmaceutical trials are becoming increasingly important. Not only high technology applications have to be investigated, but also relatively cheap but very common strategies for diagnostic work up and therapy. This may yield major savings.
