Lecture Title: More isn’t always better when it comes to technology in healthcare 

Delivering high quality care in clinical settings increasingly requires use of complex technologies, including artificial intelligence. While clearly offering clinicians the ability to do more for their patients, the benefits of technology aren’t guaranteed. We will explore three surprising examples that highlight challenges of using technology in healthcare. In intensive care units, operating rooms, and colonoscopy suites of a technology-forward academic medical center, three different yet all promising information and communication technologies stumbled upon implementation. Our discussion will examine why, revealing that attention to the way technologies interact with workers and workflows is key.
