TIBBİ CİHAZLARDA SAĞLIK TEKNOLOJİLERİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Günümüzde sağlık harcamaları hızla artıyorken, karar vericiler, sağlığa erişim hakkı,sağlıkta eşitlik ve seçim hakkı gibi temel ilkeleri gözeterek gelişen sağlık teknolojilerininfinansmanı ve bütçe kısıtı arasında denge kurmaya çalışmaktadır. Bu doğrultudasağlık teknolojileri değerlendirmeleri (STD) birçok ülke için önemli bir sağlıkpolitikası aracı haline gelmiştir.STD yöntemleri ve uygulamaları, birçok ülkede, ilaçlarla ilgili kararların verilmesindetemel bir politika aracı haline gelmiştir. Tıbbi cihazlar için de STD uygulamaları,ülkeler arasında hızla yayılıyor olmakla birlikte, henüz ilaçlarda olduğu kadaryaygın bir uygulama alanına sahip değildir.Bu çalışmanın amacı, ilaçlar için uygulanan STD yöntemlerinin birebir tıbbi cihazlarauygulanamayacağına dikkat çekmek, tıbbi cihazlara ilişkin STD süreçlerinde tıbbicihazlara özgü özelliklerin göz önünde bulundurulmasının önemini ortaya koymakve tıbbi cihazların kendisine has özelliklerinin göz önünde bulundurulduğu STD süreçlerikonusunda önerilerde bulunmaktır. Çalışmada, genel olarak uygulanagelenSTD yöntemlerinin tıbbi cihazlar için de uygulanabilir olduğu ancak tıbbi cihazlarıilaçlardan ayıran farkların göz önünde bulundurularak STD süreçlerinin zenginleştirilebileceğisonucuna varılmıştır.
