Webinar Overview:

Selecting the right clinical technology has become increasingly important for maintaining a competitive edge. Hospitals have been investing in clinical technology for the last 15 - 20 years. A focused framework for structuring technology evaluation, that insures alignment with the strategic direction for the entire organization, is critical; particularly in times of economic stress when capital is scarce. The Woodruff Health Sciences Center and Emory Healthcare undertook a clinical technology evaluation process with the help from Sg2. Key opportunities were identified through a series of internal assessments, interviews with clinical leadership, and external peer review. The presenters will walk through the process, share lessons learned, and outline steps to ensure a successful implementation.
