  • Question regarding terminology

    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
