The health-care system, its organizations and its supporting industries are currently undergoing immense change, and at the centre of this change is technology. Focusing on its management, this book refers to this new intellectual space as the management of medical technology (MMT). From the core activities of providing medical care, to the supporting industries producing technical systems, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, information technology, and finally to the insurers of health care - all of these demonstrate the central role that technology plays in providing health services. The book examines the many aspects of managing medical technology, discusses its key issues, and outlines how it can be managed more effectively. It is a foundational book in a series bearing the same title, and is designed for academics and students in all areas of management related to health care, as a text for related undergraduate and graduate courses, and as a reference book for health-care executives and managers of technology in industry.

This text examines the role of technology in the delivery of health care by physicians and other health care workers, and their respective roles in the management of health care technology. The chapters in this book seek to introduce the horizons that are open for scholarly pursuit in this area. The author has two main objectives. Firstly, to provide the reader with an overview of the main issues of concern and the topics of study in managing technology in health care; and secondly, to offer the reader specific knowledge covering a broad range of topics. The volume should be of interest to health care and to R&D/technology scholars and practitioners.

Technology plays a critical role in the management of health care, the system, its delivery and its organizations. This book examines the role of technology in the delivery of health care by physicians and other health care workers, and their respective roles in the management of health care technology. The complexity of the health care environment and the difficulties in managing technology in general (and in health care in particular) makes this book a landmark exploration for the purpose of creating in-roads into the largely uncharted territory of health care technology. The chapters in this book will introduce the horizons that are open for scholarly pursuit in this area. Managing Technology in Healthcare has two main objectives. First, to provide the reader with an overview of the main issues of concern and the topics of study in managing technology in health care. Second, to offer the reader specific knowledge embedded in the eleven chapters of the book, covering a broad range of topics of interest to health care and to R&D/technology scholars and practitioners.

This is the second book in the series of books that we edit on the Management of Medical Technology (MMT) published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. The fIrst book Managing Technology in Health Care offered a broad-brushed view of the topics involved in the new and exciting area of MMT that we have launched. A group of distinguished scholars contributed to the fIrst book. While working on the first book in the series, and on a variety of articles in MMT, we began to realize that there is an urgent need for a comprehensive and highly focused book which will introduce and define the area of MMT. In addition, we had just completed the two studies of MMT in American hospitals, and had a magnificent database fully analyzed. With three months left in the first author's sabbatical, and thanks to the encouragement from our editor at Kluwer, Gary Folven, we took to the task of writing this book. The merging in this book of the description of a new intellectual space, and the write-up of the results from our MMT studies have created a unique blend of very attractive reading material. The reader will find this book to be a fascinating adventure into a newly-created area of intellectual endeavor, coupled with fIndings about how the health care delivery system manages teclUlology. Regardless of the reader's background, this book will certainly be of interest, as it links the medical and business frameworks.
