Abstract

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.

医院流程绩效与医疗设备的采用:基于组织的观点。
过去二十年来,学术界对医疗保健领域采用技术的兴趣与日俱增。虽然已有大量研究深入探讨了特定技术对不同组织单位和医疗专业绩效的影响,但研究结果往往众说纷纭。与已有文献不同的是,我们的方法侧重于从组织的角度来分析技术如何影响医院的流程绩效。更确切地说,我们从意大利的 56 家医疗机构中编制了一个定制数据集,并利用普通最小二乘法(OLS)回归作为主要分析工具,对 2016 年至 2019 年的面板数据进行了全面分析。数据显示,机构使用医疗设备与其整体流程绩效之间存在明显的关系。我们的研究强调了通过战略性地整合新技术和新设备来大幅提高流程绩效的重要性。我们鼓励政策制定者考虑引入激励机制,推动医院投资创新技术。此外,对新设备支出的监控可以作为评估临床实践中技术应用程度的重要指标。

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.
