Authors' objectives:
The principal goal of this guideline is to establish a structured methodological framework for the observation of new technologies after their introduction into clinical practice. The specific goals are: 1) to develop a prioritisation tool; 2) to identify the most appropriate data-collection instruments for post-introduction observation with their advantages and limitations; and, 3) to establish outcome indicators for assessing the different aspects of post-introduction observation.
Authors' recommendations:
1) post-introduction observation of new technologies is a strategy which complements the procedures implemented to regulate the incorporation and introduction of new technologies; 2) this methodological guideline is the first document published on this topic and it might serve as a reference for any institution/body, national or international, which may be planning to and/or are carrying post-introduction observation activities; 3) the methodological guideline provides specific procedures and strategies for planning, implementing and evaluating the utilisation of new technologies; and 4) the methodology of post-introduction observation put forward is a preliminary proposal which will gradually be redefined with the implementation of these systems in different local, national and international settings.
