IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES IN HOSPITAL: AWARENESS OF THE MEDICAL SPECIALIST
Introduction. To identify the knowledge and opinion on the introduction of healthcare technologies of employees of the healthcare organization a survey was conducted between the doctors, department heads and directors of seven hospitals in Almaty. The questionnaire was used to cover their work experience in the implementation of medical technologies in their workplaces and knowledge in the field of technology assessment (HTA). The survey was followed by a structured two-stage interview with hospital managers and doctors to clarify the answers. Most of the survey participants were not aware of the process of introducing medical technologies in Kazakhstan or the basics of decision-making in the healthcare system. The participants spoke in favor of a clear process of technology implementation in their hospitals and made a useful choice regarding implementation options. The use of HTA to facilitate decision-making on new technologies has been supported, but further training of personnel is required. Difficulties were noticed in the use of HTA in hospitals in the form of a lack of funding and staff working hours. Almaty healthcare facilities face difficulties, such as managing the selection and implementation of new medical technologies. Healthcare professionals are generally aware of the evaluation of healthcare technologies, which would help them make decisions, but its implementation in everyday life requires further development consideration.
