Abstract

Medical technologies possess life-cycles like those of other technologies. That is, they pass through phases of development, diffusion, established use, and obsolescence. The primary criterion for the adoption and abandonment of medical practices has been their impact on the health and well-being of the patient. However, it is also recognized that differences among competing technologies in their use of human and financial resources must be considered.
