Hartford Health Care Technology Analysis

Healthcare Technology is rapidly advancing, leading to improvements in existing technology and the creation of new technology. The quick adoption of improved technology is certainly understandable. I am positive that anyone with a smartphone, understands the desire to upgrade to the newest and shiniest model. Which makes me wonder is the united states adopting state-of-the-art health care technology before it has been clinically proven to be beneficial (Niles, 2015, p. 375)?

I have heard of cases where patients will request a robotic procedure because they “heard” it was better for them. In my opinion, physicians will typically perform an operation via the method they are more comfortable with; I want my doctor comfortable and confident in their skills when operating on me.
