The health care delivery system, its organizations, and its
supporting industries are currently undergoing immense changes and
at the center of this change is technology. This book is about the
management of this technology. The authors refer to this new
intellectual space as the Management of Medical Technology (MMT).
From the core activities of delivering 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
technology plays in delivering health. Management of Medical
Technology examines the many aspects of managing medical
technology, discusses its key issues, and outlines how it can be
managed more effectively. This is a foundational book in Kluwer's
Series on MMT. It is designed for academics and students in all
areas of management related to health care, as a text for related
undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as a reference book for
health care executives and managers of technology in industry. The
book is divided into three complementary parts. Part 1 explores the
theory of MMT and in six chapters outlines the new intellectual
space of MMT and its theoretical background. Part 2 is dedicated to
the practice of MMT. This part has six chapters and describes the
two main empirical studies conducted by the authors on MMT; one
study examined how hospitals currently manage medical technology
and the second study investigated the management of medical
information technology. Moreover, related to the practice of MMT,
this part also discusses in detail issues of effectiveness of
delivery, patient value and patientwelfare, and education in MMT.
Part 3 is a thorough treatment of MMT cases in a variety of health
care organizations, each describing a different phenomenon in the
practice of MMT. Eleven cases are included, with discussion
questions for use in the classroom.
