Synopsis

The contributions specifically written for this book were prepared in response to a critical need for a better understanding of the processes and the problems that relate to the development and dissemination of biomedical technologies and new medical practices. They present overviews of the diffusion of technical knowledge, report on applicable case studies, offer innovative suggestions for improving the management of biomedical research, and assess questions of social impact and policy direction with regard to biomedical technology and clinical practice.
