Technology acquisition: trends in imaging.
A great deal has happened in the imaging area this year. Our imaging special report examines changes in the field: from hospitals' new negotiating tactics to the impact of the new Medicare capital payment regulation. In an in-depth report, we examine new trends developing in hospitals' and hospital groups' contracting for imaging equipment purchasing. Then we take a look at how hospitals' technology acquisition strategies--and vendors' research and development plans--are being remolded by the new capital regulation. Finally, we revisit the capital fold-in regulation itself.
