Hospital process performance and the adoption of medical devices: An organization-based view.
Over the past two decades, there has been a growing scholarly interest in the adoption of technology in healthcare. While numerous studies have delved into the effects of specific technologies on the performance of different organizational units and medical specialties, the findings have often been divergent. Unlike the established literature, our approach focuses on the organization's perspective to analyze how technology impacts process performance in hospital settings. More precisely, we compiled a tailored dataset from 56 healthcare organizations in Italy and conducted a comprehensive analysis of panel data from 2016 to 2019, utilizing Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression as our main analytical tool. The data shows a clear relationship between an organization's use of medical devices and its overall process performance. Our research highlights the importance of achieving substantial improvements in process performance by strategically integrating new technologies and devices. Policymakers are encouraged to consider introducing incentives to drive hospitals to invest in innovative technologies. Furthermore, monitoring expenditures on new devices could serve as a valuable metric for assessing the extent of technology adoption within clinical practices.
期刊介绍:
Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances.
