Evaluation of drugs by the medical letter.

The operation of The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics, a biweekly newsletter on drug evaluations for physicians and other health personnel, is described. Included are a discussion of the history and current organization of the publication, method of writing reports, financing, and relations with the pharmaceutical industry. The future of The Medical Letter, in light of more stringent FDA procedures and the fewer new drugs being marketed, is discussed also.

An economic survey of the emerging tissue engineering industry.

The contemporary scope of worldwide tissue engineering research and development was estimated by totaling the relevant annual spending and other economic parameters of firms involved the field. Operating expenses allocated to tissue engineering in 1997 exceed $450 million and fund the activities of nearly 2,500 scientists and support personnel. Growth rate is 22.5% per annum. Most activity is centered in the United States. Government spending in this field represents <10% of the total. The aggregate capital value of start-ups that have gone public was approximately $1.7 billion as of January 1, 1998; total capital value of all firms and business units in the field was estimated to be roughly $3.5 billion. The level of investment and valuation represents a remarkable act of faith in the future of a technology yet to produce its first significant revenue-generating product.

The future of Medicare policy reform.

The Medicare program, the largest health insurance program in the United States, is clearly at a crossroads as it enters its third decade. Historical increases in health care expenditures, plus a changing political and economic landscape, have set the groundwork for policy reform. Two basic reform strategies--reimbursement arrangements and program funding mechanisms--are discussed. In 1983, Congress enacted the Prospective Payment System (PPS) which initiated a fundamental change in the way hospitals are paid for care delivered to Medicare beneficiaries. But the PPS is only a stepping-stone to broader reforms such as capitation. In addition, new methods of program funding may be necessary, especially in light of policymakers' considerations of coverage of services such as long-term care and organ transplants.

Mental health services system research: the National Institute of Mental Health program.

There is a critical need for research to examine the changing mental health services system, to evaluate major innovations in the provision of mental health treatment, and to remove existing barriers to comprehensive and cost-effective care. To achieve these aims, collaboration is needed among government agencies, mental health services programs, academic institutions, and the private sector. The National Institute of Mental Health supports research and research training on the mental health services system primarily through the Division of Biometry and Applied Sciences. This article focuses on the division's three priority research areas of the mental health services system: the provision of mental health care in the primary care sector, the organization and delivery of care for the chronically mentally ill, and financing and reimbursement of care. The various mechanisms of research support are also highlighted.
