I think the most important thing that needs to happen in medical tourism research is the development of a transparent quality assessment program. I know the University of Florida has done some work around this. Too many people in the Medical Tourism sector are salesmen and not clinicians or people with an economic background to do this type of assessment. My background is in qualitative analysis and health care operations, so I have some training in this area. I have also observed some very anecdotal information that has been published for the marketing spin. When conducting surveys it is important to ask the right questions and to provide controls in the survey to control for bias. I have recently completed a significant analysis of the level of investment that U.S. health care entities have in international services and the world class hospitals in the USA, like Johns Hopkins, have partnership facilities in several countries. There also is significant demand for medical services in the US from residents of other countries.
