--insurance company and gov't sponsored health care 都不包销使用新医疗设备的账单,所以少有人用新设备,所以它的好处就难以展现。 以此可推测啥? 我说new tech, new development will be discouraged
--医院里要人工采集皮肤样本做skin cancer test, 比较费力费钱。 一家大hospital 买了个机器,可以机器采集,而且一样精确,还省了不少cost。所以一家小clinic也想搞一台这个机器。问clinic要先收集什么信息再做此决定? 我选了个 whether they will have enough patient visits to recoup the cost? (大概这个意思吧,我rephrase了一下)

Because visual inspection cannot reliably distinguish certain skin discolorations from skin cancers, dermatologists at clinics have needed to perform tests of skin tissue taken from patients. At Westville Hospital, dermatological diagnostic costs were reduced by the purchase of a new imaging machine that diagnoses skin cancer in such cases as reliably as the tissue tests do. Consequently, even though the machine is expensive, a dermatological clinic in Westville is considering buying one to reduce diagnostic costs.
Which of the following would it be most useful for the clinic to establish in order to make its decision?
A.Whether the visits of patients who require diagnosis of skin discolorations tend to be shorter in duration at the clinic than at the hospitalB.Whether the principles on which the machine operates have been known to science for a long time
C.Whether the machine at the clinic would get significantly less heavy use than the machine at the hospital does
D.Whether in certain cases of skin discoloration, visual inspection is sufficient to make a diagnosis of skin cancer
E.Whether hospitals in other parts of the country have purchased such imaging machines
is this one?
