Thank you very much, Dr. Martin, I often wonder , as I am quite foreigner for English language, the difference between "health technology assessment" and "technology assessment of health care". And also wonder the difference between "health technology assessment" and "health care technology assessment". On defining your new HTA society, I hope these difference will be defined , or described whether the difference exist or not. I suppose some HTA academics in Japan are health economists. But HTA itself , I think, is not limited as health economics. To what direction the new society will cruise is my concern. Bon voyage! all the best SAIO ***************************************************************** Takeo SAIO, M.D. e-mail; [log in to unmask] Fuji Toranomon Health Promotion Center. 1067-1 Kawashimata, Gotemba, Shizuoka, 412-0045, JAPAN TEL; +81-550-89-5633 FAX; +81-550-89-5663 ***************************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet Martin" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 10:18 PM Subject: Re: Where is ISTAC? > ISTAHC has ceased as a society, but > will go ahead with their annual meeting > in June in Canada.
