title: A new paradigm for medical technology procurement.
abstract: Procurement of IT-based medical technology requires new thinking and understanding for a variety of healthcare professionals. New technical, clinical, and legal issues must be addressed. Establishing clear roles and responsibilities among the various members of a multi-disciplinary technology assessment committee for IT-based medical technology will improve the odds that the technology will meet the true needs of an institution, and that it will be used safely once it arrives.
