Abstract

This paper addresses the performance measures and institutional drivers for successful adoption of Medical Technology (Medtech), which is claimed as the pulse for healthcare service industry. Institutional theory is used as the analytical lens to analyze Medtech adoption in healthcare. The study investigates indicators at two levels, (1) macro level: reflecting the service performance of hospital, (2) micro level: explaining end-to-end operating performance. This article also presents drivers for Medtech adoption from the viewpoint of institutional pressures examined as coercive, normative, and mimetic pressure. Finally, the case study of hospitals in Thailand will demonstrate both two level of performance measures, and reveal three types of institutional drivers for successful of Medtech adoption in hospitals. This finding may help to improve the strategic view of Medtech adoption through more effective performance measurement and institutional driver identification.
