Among various categories of health technology, medical equipment has the unique distinction of requiring both high initial investments and costly maintenance during its entire useful life. This characteristic does not, however, imply that medical equipment is more costly than other categories, provided that it is managed properly. The foundation of a sound technology management process is the planning and acquisition of equipment, collectively called technology incorporation. This lecture presents a rational, strategic process for technology incorporation based on experience, some successful and many unsuccessful, accumulated in industrialized and developing countries over the last three decades. The planning step is focused on establishing a Technology Incorporation Plan (TIP) using data collected from an audit of existing technology, evaluating needs, impacts, costs, and benefits, and consolidating the information collected for decision making. The acquisition step implements TIP by selecting equipment based on tech | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-01639-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-00511-4 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-01639-4Series ISSN 1930-0328 Series E-ISSN 1930-0336 | issn_series | 1930-0328 | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2009 |
