The role of innovation in advancing these social goals is controversial, with many seeing innovation as a major cause of cost growth and many others viewing innovation as crucial for improving the quality of care and health outcomes. The authors argue that mitigating the tension between improving health and controlling costs requires more-nuanced perspectives on innovation. More specifically, they argue that policymakers should carefully distinguish between innovative activities that are worth their social costs and activities that are not worth their social costs and try to encourage the former and discourage the latter. The paper considers innovation in drugs, devices, and methods of delivering health care, with particular attention to delivery." 650 0 $a Medical economics $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical care $z United States $x Cost control. 650 0 $a Medical policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Medical innovations $x Social aspects $z United States. 700 1 $a Garber, Steven, $d 1950- 710 2 $a RAND Health. 710 2 $a Kauffman-RAND Institute for Entrepreneurship Public Policy. 830 0 $a Occasional paper (Rand Corporation) ; $v OP-341-EMKF 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180109055912.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825035353.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9EDD929609D711E183938E966AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
