The first chapter describes the health care delivery systems in
Canada and in the U.S. This is followed by examples of various
approaches used to measure physiological variables in humans,
either for the purpose of diagnosis or monitoring potential disease
conditions; a brief description of sensor technologies is included.
The function and role of the clinical engineer in managing medical
technologies in industrialized and in developing countries are
presented. This is followed by a chapter on patient safety (mainly
electrical safety and electromagnetic interference); it includes a
section on how to minimize liability and how to develop a quality
assurance program for technology management. The next chapter
discusses applications of telemedicine, including technical,
social, and ethical issues. The last chapter presents a discussion
on the impact of technology on health care and the technology
assessment process. This two-part book consolidates material that
supports courses on technology development and management issues in
health care institutions. It can be useful for anyone involved in
design, development, or research, whether in industry, hospitals,
or government.
