See how simulation modeling reveals the paths and pitfalls of new medical technology.

This book uses PTCA as a case study to show how computer-based models help decision-makers understand how a technology might develop and spread, and how policy choices may shape its use.

Guided by a clear framework, it shows how the medical community and government interact as a technology moves from testing to real-world use. You’ll learn how a well-built model translates complex practice dynamics into scenarios that inform safer, smarter policy decisions.

How simulation models represent a technology’s development and dissemination.
Why expert assumptions and data shape different long-term outcomes.
The potential effects of policies like early-dissemination limits and patient registries.
How to interpret model results and their implications for health policy and practice.

Ideal for students, researchers, and policymakers interested in health technology assessment and the dynamics of innovation in medicine.
