Abstract

Biomedical technology professionals are often involved when a healthcare organization decides to procure a new medical technology. As such, technical professionals in these roles are well positioned to apply human factors methods throughout the procurement process to ensure that whatever technology is chosen by the healthcare organization fits well with the people who will use it given the context of use. To illustrate how biomedical technology professionals can approach procurement using human factors methods, the human factors informed procurement and implementation process (HFPIP) will be applied to a case study (see Case Study 2) that occurred in the United States in 2000.
