Hospitals must manage technology as a resource to reduce costs and improve care. Implementing a four-phase technology management program is key for success in healthcare reform.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Health Economics
  • Technology Management

Background:

  • Rising healthcare spending (15% of GNP) and increasing numbers of uninsured Americans strain the system.
  • Stalled healthcare reform legislation creates uncertainty for hospitals.
  • Hospitals face pressure to become more cost-effective regardless of federal mandates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose technology as a manageable resource for hospitals.
  • To outline a method for identifying and assessing core technologies.
  • To present a framework for effective technology management.

Main Methods:

  • Defining technology as a core hospital resource.
  • Establishing an informational baseline of core technologies.

  • Proposing a four-phase technology management program.

    • Main Results:

    • Technology can be identified and managed as a distinct hospital resource.
    • A systematic approach allows for cost estimation of technology infrastructure.
    • A structured program enables better resource management.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective resource management, including technology, is crucial for hospitals to succeed in a changing healthcare landscape.
    • Hospitals can achieve higher quality and lower operating expenses through strategic technology management.
    • The proposed four-phase program provides a template for hospitals to manage technology effectively.
