Abstract

Medical Technology Assessment (MTA) has become increasingly relevant to members of the medical community. This is due to both economic and social constraints. More and more physicians are either confronted by, or expected to participate in this activity. The objective of this review is to examine the relevance of MTA to the discipline of obstetrics and gynaecology, and to assess its potential implications for health care providers. Medical Technology Assessment seeks to improve the quality of care through the synthesis of the findings of health research. Thus, it is urgent to improve medical evaluative research directly linked to important decisions to be made in the health care system. It is suggested that every health care provider in obstetrics and gynaecology and the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada participate in MTA activities which should lead to an increase in both professional autonomy and social credibility.
