: The Evolution of Healthcare Technology Management in Leading Healthcare Delivery Organizations.

This descriptive research study examined adaptation to advances in technology by healthcare technology management (HTM) departments in U.S.-based healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs). HDOs that have made or are making significant changes to address this technology evolution were identified through discussions with subject matter experts. Interviews were conducted with HDO leaders responsible for patient care technology and systems. The research described here examined drivers of change, response to change, evolution of strategies, and directions forward. This article shares common and unique interventions for the future of the HTM field, patterns and approaches for adapting to the evolution in health technology, and lessons learned from the research.
