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.
