Managing Medical Technological Innovations

This book addresses the issue of modern medical innovations management through an inductive approach by looking into cases before putting forward solutions in terms of strategies and tools. It provides a model for the designing and implementation of effective healthcare technology management (HTM) systems in hospitals and healthcare provider settings, as well as promotes a new method of analysis of hospital organization for decision-making regarding technology to show how systematic management using a strategy that balances bottom-up and top-down driven innovations, can deliver better medical technological advances. Managing Medical Technological Innovations is organized in three parts. Part 1 covers innovation strategies, laying the groundwork and concepts in design thinking. Part 2 follows by presenting the tools available for implementation. And finally, Part 3 uses the case studies of pharmaceutical firms in China and hospital medical record management in Holland to illustrate how these ideas and methodologies have been applied. This book is suitable for healthcare administrators, management, and IT personnel involved in the planning, expansion and maintaining of healthcare technology management and organisation seeking a reference with most recent approaches and cases from an international context; researchers seeking new approaches to apply to emerging medical technologies in different regions; and graduate students who are either doing their research or taking introductory as well as advanced courses in engineering and technology management in different parts of the world.Contents: About the Editors Introduction Technology Perspectives: A Bibliometric Review of Wearable Technologies (Milad Dehghani) A Review of Japan's Bioventures (Shiaw Jia Eyo) Systems Engineering Approaches for Improving Reusable Medical Equipment Reprocessing Processes (James C Benneyan and Claire Massero) Organizational Perspectives: R&D Management in the Japanese Pharmaceutical Industry (Jörg Mahlich) Analyzing Co-Opetition Strategy Through Patents in the Stent Market (Kuei-Kuei Lai, Fang-Pei Su, Calvin S Weng, Mei-Lan Lin and Chiau-Ling Chen) Success Factors for Strategic Partnerships in the Biotechnology Sector (Uwe Kehrel, Kai Klischan and Nathalie Sick) Innovation Management Perspectives: Open Innovation in the Medical Device Industry (Hua-Hsin Wan and Xiaohong Quan) Exploring Technological Complexity in the Pharmaceutical Industry (Hao Hu and Liming Zhang) Biotechnology Innovation (Mark J Ahn, Anne S York, So Young Sohn and Payam Benyamini) New Product Development Perspectives: Ambidexterity and Ambiguity (Eric Christian Brun) Benefits of Ambiguity (Eric Christian Brun, Alf Steinar Sætre and Martin Gjelsvik) Managing Exploration–Exploitation (Alf Steinar Sætre and Eric Christian Brun) Technology Adoption Perspectives: IT Adoption in Healthcare Organizations (Nathasit Gerdsri and Chonyacha Suebsin) Implementation of Electronic Medical Records in Dutch Hospitals (Ferry Koster and Mattijs Lambooij) Influence of Personal Communication Networks on the Adoption of a Medical Device (Christian Barrot, Jan Kuhlmann and Andrea Popa) Readership: Professionals (healthcare administrators, management, and IT personnel) involved in the planning, expansion and maintaining of healthcare technology management and organisation who are seeking a reference with most recent approaches and cases from an international context; Researchers who are seeking new approaches to apply to emerging medical technologies in different regions; Graduate students who are either doing their research or taking introductory as well as advanced courses in engineering and technology management in different parts of the world.Strategic Management of Innovation;Disruptive Innovations;New Product Development;Design for Six Sigma (Dfss);Co-opetition Strategy0Key Features: This title reviews multiple perspectives of managing medical technologies.
