This report focuses specifically on a set of seven advanced technologies that have demonstrated substantial net financial benefits and improved quality of care and health outcomes. They were selected from among a wide array of technologies for their demonstrated ability to simultaneously reduce costs and improve quality. They represent only a sample of all of the technologies that could benefit health care in Massachusetts. Technologies with the potential to yield dramatic administrative savings but no direct clinical benefit, for example, have not been addressed here. There are a host of non-information-based technologies that also have dramatic effects.
