新技术有可能彻底改变我们现在和未来管理健康和福祉的方式。但通常被视为昂贵和难以实施，挑战是确定最佳技术，以提供真正的患者利益，并支持其快速采用，以帮助解决所有现代医疗体系面临的资金困难。在这篇文章中，我们考虑了与医疗保健相关的技术采用路径的传统线性模型，查看了在这条路径上面临的常见挑战，并提出了解决方案。在这样做的过程中，我们认识到线性模型的局限性，并描述了我们版本的更现实的非线性模型。在整个过程中，我们将根据我们从支持医疗器械产品到采用的经验，研究临床工程师在成功采用医疗技术方面的关键作用，并介绍我们在此过程中学到的关键经验教训。
New technologies have the potential to revolutionize the way we manage health and wellbeing now and in the future. But often seen as expensive and difficult to implement, the challenge is to identify the best technology to deliver real patient benefit and support its rapid adoption to help address the funding difficulties faced by all modern healthcare systems. In this paper we consider the traditional linear model of the technology adoption pathway as it pertains to healthcare, look at common challenges faced traversing this path and suggest solutions. In so doing, we recognise the limitations of the linear model and describe our version of a more realistic, non-linear model. Throughout, we will be looking at the key role of the Clinical Engineer to successful healthcare technology adoption based on our experience of supporting medical device products through to adoption and present the key lessons we learnt along the way.
