Selecting the right clinical technology has become increasingly important for maintaining a competitive edge. The Woodruff Health Sciences Center and Emory Healthcare undertook a clinical technology adoption planning process with assistance from Sg2. Key opportunities were identified through a series of internal assessments, interviews with clinical leadership, and external peer review. The review process, steps recommended to ensure successful implementation, and lessons learned will be revealed. Investigate the challenges presented by clinical technology selection and adoption, such as how to decide among competing requests from key physicians or departments and how to maintain momentum in technology planning.
