This wide-ranging monograph addresses some of the gaps in understanding health status and quality of life, such as the use of quality-of-life measures in technology assessment, organ transplantation, and pharmaceutical trials. One chapter provides basic references for the technical attributes of many established measures and some lesser known ones. The final chapter offers recommendations concerning the appropriate applications of these measures and highlights areas for cooperative research.Monograph of the Council on Health Care Technology.Medical technologyQuality of lifeMedical technology.Quality of life.616.029Mosteller Frederick1916-2006.45482Falotico-Taylor Jennifer1806382Institute of Medicine (U.S.),MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961632003321Quality of life and technology assessment4355531UNINA
