Abstract
Purpose: Utilizing new technologies in the performance measurement processes of healthcare facilities is important for effective management. However, many factors influence this process. Therefore, prioritization is necessary so that managers know which factors address. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to develop priority strategies to enable the use of new technologies in performance measurement processes in healthcare institutions.
Design/methodology/approach: Within the scope of the research, factors affecting the use of new technologies in performance measurement processes in healthcare facilities were determined through the literature. The relevant factors were classified according to the dimensions of the Balanced Scorecard. Subsequently, expert opinion was obtained and weighted using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with Koch Snowflake Fuzzy Sets.
Findings: The analyses conducted as part of the research revealed that the most important criteria are, in order: "Investment and Implementation Costs," "Senior Management Support and Strategic Vision" and "Data Security and Quality".
Originality/value: Studies focusing on integrating innovative technologies into the performance measurement process in healthcare organizations are quite limited. Furthermore, the use of the AHP-Koch Snowflake Fuzzy integrated approach represents a significant innovation for the healthcare sector.

■International health and international organizations ■Organisational behaviour, governance, management and leadership ■The inter-relationship of health and public sector services ■Theories and practices of management and leadership in health and related organizations ■Emotion in health care organizations ■Management education and training ■Industrial relations and human resource theory and management. As the demands on the health care industry both polarize and intensify, effective management of financial and human resources, the restructuring of organizations and the handling of market forces are increasingly important areas for the industry to address.
