National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National
Academy of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of the appropriate
professions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the
health of the public. In this, the Institute acts under both the
Academy's 1863 congressional charter responsibility to be an adviser

This report, "Medical Technology Assessment: A Plan for a
Private/Public Sector Consortium 7 '' was prepared by an Institute
of Medicine committee headed by Jeremiah A. Barondess, M.D. The
planning project was undertaken in response to growing concerns
in both the private and public sectors expressed at a meeting
convened by the Institute of Medicine in June 1982 about the lack
of a coordinating entity for the assessment of medical
technologies.
There is presented a reasoned approach to the kind of an
organization needed to foster a private/public partnership in
medical technology assessment, and an outline of the functions,
governance, and possible funding mechanisms of the enterprise.
Many persons from each sector of interest contributed
perspectives to the committeeis deliberations, and their work is
greatly appreciated.
The committee's recommendations constitute only a plan for an
organization. The Institute's governing council as well as the
similar bodies of the National Academy of Sciences and National
Academy of Engineering will consider whether to implement the
recommendations of the committee and, if so, in what manner.
