Healthcare Tech For most industries, the advancement and implementation of technology is moving at a fairly quick pace. However, healthcare has been and remains one of the exceptions and outliers to this trend. There is some debate as to why this is the case.

The reasons for this lagging implementation and adoption of technology will be explained in this report. The reasons run the gamut from compliance hurdles to uneven adoption practices and change management miscues. While advancements in technology and the related practice is certainly the future for effective healthcare technology management, there are some kinks that need to be worked out to put it lightly.

One thing that has to happen for this stalemate to be loosened is for leadership to show the way, insist that updates and advances will be embraced and that anyone resisting such change will be coached and nudged (or worse) in the right direction. This is clearly the categorical and ethical imperative given that these advances will clearly benefit and help patients in terms of customer service, healthcare outcomes and quality of care (Kandel, 2017).
At least one of the barriers to healthcare technology advancements and changes, however, is due to the unique complexity and compliance factors involved. Even with people and departments that know full well that technological advancement is the right thing, doing so in a way that insures both compliance with the law as well as patient safety is easier said than done as compared to other industries where the laws and proverbial stakes are much less oppressive and hard to…
