Directions to AEI

According to the latest federal economic report and many respected economists, American workers in all industries are growing more productive at a faster rate than they were before 1995 as a result of technological innovation and adoption. However, the influence of technology on productivity in the health care industry remains subject to debate. In fact, some economists attribute skyrocketing health care costs to technology. This panel will discuss the complex issues of measuring health care productivity and the value of medical technology.
