“…Hybrid professionals trained in technical-medical curricula are proposed as one solution to counter the adverse effects of rapid technology development and introduction in healthcare [18,20,26]. Our study shows tentatively that TPs who were trained in a hybrid curriculum aimed at integrating technical and medical competencies positively contributed to improving patient care.…”

“…There is a growing need for specifically trained high-tech healthcare professionals to reduce the misuse of medical technology and improve the quality of care of patients using technology tailored to the needs of individual patients. Hybrid curricula at the intersection of multiple disciplines, such as the Technical Medicine program, could potentially bridge the gap between medicine and technology [20,26]. In the current study we examined how TPs and the MSs they worked with perceived the contribution of TPs to patient care in terms of innovation, effectiveness, efficiency, and safety and to what extent TPs experience barriers and opportunities in clinical practice.…”

“…These technological developments thus require rethinking who is qualified and competent to perform procedures involving medical technology. Other healthcare professionals, such as medical physicists, have entered multidisciplinary healthcare teams to support the full clinical implementation and use of technology [18][19][20], changing the role of physicians. These other healthcare professionals have complementary knowledge and skills rather than specialized or extended skills.…”

Background The rapid introduction of technical innovations in healthcare requires that professionals are adequately prepared for correct clinical use of medical technology. In response to the technological transformation of healthcare, a new type of professional, the Technical Physician (TP), was created and is trained to improve individual patient care using technology tailored to the needs of individual patients. This study investigates the TPs’ impact on patient care in terms of innovation, effectiveness, efficiency, and patient safety. Method Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 30 TPs and 17 medical specialists (MSs) working in academic or teaching hospitals in the Netherlands. The pre-structured and open-ended interview questions focused on: 1) the perceived impact on innovation, effectiveness, efficiency, and safety, and 2) opportunities and challenges in daily work. Results TPs and MSs unanimously experienced that TPs contributed to innovation. A majority indicated that effectiveness (TP 57%; MS 71%) and efficiency (TP 67%; MS 65%) of clinical practice had increased. For safety, 87% of TPs but only 47% of MSs reported an increase. The main explanation given for TPs positive impact was combining medical and technical knowledge. Mainly organizational barriers were mentioned as a potential cause for a less visible contribution of TPs. Conclusion and discussion TPs and MSs unanimously agreed that TPs contributed to innovating patient care through their integrative medical and technical competencies. Most TPs and MSs also reported increased effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of patient care due to the TPs’ work. TPs and MSs expected that the TPs’ impact on direct and indirect patient care will be enhanced once organizational barriers are removed.

To date, mortality rates associated with heart diseases are dangerously increasing, making them the leading cause of death globally. From this point of view, digital technologies can provide health systems with the necessary support to increase prevention and monitoring, and improve care delivery. The present study proposes a review of the literature to understand the state of the art and the outcomes of international experiences. A reference framework is defined to develop reflections to optimize the use of resources and technologies, favoring the development of new organizational models and intervention strategies. Findings highlight the potential significance of e-health and telemedicine in supporting novel solutions and organizational models for cardiac illnesses as a response to the requirements and restrictions of patients and health systems. While privacy concerns and technology-acceptance-related issues arise, new avenues for research and clinical practice emerge, with the need to study ad hoc managerial models according to the type of patient and disease.

Leading Edge or Bleeding Edge: Designing a Framework for the Adoption of AI Technology in an Educational Organization

Adopting Artificial Intelligent Technology in an Educational Organization is often problematic due to many internal and external environmental reasons, and often fails to attain the desired goals. This study aims to design a framework for adopting AI technology in the education sector. Most of the research focuses on the acceptance of a particular technology and ignores the study of what else is needed for a technology acceptance. The framework in this study provides a step-by-step process of the Technological Transformation of an organization never designed before. We recommend that before making any technological changes in an organization, generally and in the educational organization particularly, the processes must be followed for the successful and meaningful adoption of AI technology.
