Abstract
Pushing the frontiers ofmedicine through research and development ofnew technologies has long been a standard of health care in the United States. Currently, the United States spends more than any other country on healthrelated research and development. In 1989 alone, health care research expenditures exceeded $1 .8 billion.1 Despite the magnitude of this cost, it continues to grow; national expenditures on health research increased by 50% inthe decade between 1983 and 1992.2
