Dear Biomch-L'ers
just a quick question for the more clinically interested members of the
group: Is there a difference between the terms EFFECTIVENESS, EFFICACY
and EFFICIENCY when describing the beneficial effect of a treatment option?
As a non-native speaker I would appreciate getting feedback since my
English-German medical dictionary did not really distinguish between
these terms.
Thanks in advance, cheers
Dieter Rosenbaum...
