The second annual Frank M. Norfleet Forum for the Advancement of
Health was convened November 30, December 1 and 2, 1981 at The
University of Tennessee Center for the Health Sciences, Memphis,
Tennessee. The Norfleet Forum is a continuing series of discussions
on issues related to national health policy and organization of
health care at all levels. Application of the competitive model for
containing costs and assuring high quality of medical care (1980
Forum) is jeopardized in part by rapid introduction of expensive
medi cal technology. Decision-makers in business and industry,
government and health care provider groups recognize the benefits
of high technology and are reluctant to impose controls that might
reduce the effective level of scientific creativity. And yet, some
technologies are rushed into routine use before their efficacy and
safety are assured, and without measuring the benefits to be
achieved against the harsh reality of cost. In this volume, 11 of
the worldls experts on technology issues summarize current ideas
for understanding and coping with the technological imperative of
the 1980s. James R. Gay, M.D."
