Abstract
The fields of technology management and health care management have been largely left separated by the research communities of both areas of academic interests. Although there have been some attempts to create a connection between the areas, these are directed specifically towards very distinct topics. For example, some writers in the health care management area dealt with technology as a side issue (Shortell and Kaluzny, 1987). On the other end, writers in the technology management area ventured into health care as an illustrative exercise (for example, Reisman and Kiley, 1973, and Reisman, 1981).
