5. What is Medical Technology?
The practical application (everyday use) of the scientific knowledge produced by biomedical research
CONSIDERATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH CARE
COST
SAFETY
BENEFITS VS. BURDENS
AVAILABILITY & ACCESS

6. BENEFITS prevent or delay the onset of serious disease
provide a better diagnosis
make faster and more complete cures possible
increase safety of medical treatment
minimize undesirable side effects
promote faster recoveries from surgery
increase life expectancy
improve quality of life

7. BURDENS new technology usually increases both labor and capital costs
side-effects or harm from the use of technology
emphasis on specialty care over primary care & preventive services
critically ill patients are put on life support with limited decision- making abilities and little hope of full recovery
Insuring the confidentiality of patient information

8. Medical technology includes:
Sophisticated machines PET scanners, functional MRI, implantable defibrillators
High tech procedures angioplasty, joint replacements, dental implants
Pharmaceuticals & Biologics (a medicinal preparation made from living organisms and their products) serums, vaccines, antibiotics…

10. TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY IN HEALTH CARE

11. 1. INFORMATIONAL TECHNOLOGY
Managing patient care management
Quality improvement
Cost containment
Informational Access (through Computers, tablets, smart phones, PDAs)
Think about how the internet has allowed patients to be more active participants in their own health care!

12. HEALTH IT
1. Accurate and complete information about a patient's health. 2. The ability to better coordinate the care they give. 3. A way to securely share information with patients and their family Information to help doctors diagnose health problems sooner, reduce medical errors, and provide safer care at lower costs.

13. Applications for Health Care
Assessing patients’ charts
Using pharmacy & formulary dosing tools
Assessing Micromedex
Downloading & viewing health books & journals
Viewing procedures not routinely performed
Setting up virtual offices
Viewing financial information
Communication
Research
Sharing of information / education

14. Electronic Medical Records Patient identification data
Clinic & inpatient notes
Preventive care delivery
Laboratory data
Radiology data
Pharmacy data
Surgical procedures performed
Emergency department visits
Billing information
Electronic
Medical
Records

15. 2. DIAGNOSTIC & MONITORING TECHNOLOGY
To identify or diagnose illness or injury
To monitor or measure progress
To assist in treatment planning

17. X-RAY
X-RAY aka (radiograph) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions.

18. Types Of
Fractures

19. CT scans of internal organs, bones, soft tissue and blood vessels provide greater clarity and reveal more details than regular x-ray exams. CT scans use x-ray & sophisticated computers to produce multiple images of the inside of the body.
CT Scan

20. MRI
MRI

21. problems with the central nervous system
PET scans
are most commonly used to detect:
cancer
heart problems
brain disorders
problems with the central nervous system
positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test using a radioactive substance called a tracer to look for disease in the body.

22. f-MRI
(functional MRI)
Shows brain activity via blood flow

23. Ultrasound Fetal profile 1st trimester
aka sonography, involves exposing part of the body to high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body.
