Rollerball endometrial ablation: new treatment options for women.
1. Endometrial ablation with a rollerball electrode is an alternative to hysterectomy for selected women with menorrhagia. Patients are usually discharged the same day and recover more quickly than women who undergo hysterectomy. 2. Preoperative patient preparation includes endometrial suppression through drug therapy and placement of a laminaria tent in the uterine cervix. 3. Because large amounts of irrigating solution are used during the procedure, careful monitoring of fluid balance is essential to avoid fluid overload. 4. Diagnostic hysteroscopy is useful for evaluating abnormal bleeding.

Clinical technology assessment, cost-effective adoption, and quality management by hospitals in the 1990s.
Technology assessment in the 1990s must become an integral part of a hospital's strategic priority goals, with active participation of physicians and top management. Technology assessment should involve a wide range of criteria and health care consumer expectations, so that the appropriateness, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and quality improvement aspects of new technologies are all considered. Mount Carmel Health's Advanced Treatment and Bionics Institute (ATBI), established in 1986, monitors significant developments in new technologies and performs technology and outcomes assessments. ATBI activities, which have facilitated adoption of 35 treatment-based projects, are integrated into the existing QA structure of Mount Carmel hospitals. Through resolution of identified problems, quality care can be promoted, while providing patients innovative medical treatments.
