| Title: | Resistance to technology: Some examples from the health care delivery systems |
| Author(s): | Levy, Allan H. |
| Subject(s): |
Health Care --Automation
Resistance to technology |
| Abstract: | Understanding why people don't like something is like understanding why the dog didn't bark in the night. One is often looking for objections unspoken, fears unexpressed and concerns concealed. It is the purpose of this paper to attempt to explore some of the factors that are at work when radical changes are introduced into a new setting. I will try to separate problems that arise from changes we introduce from those that derive from external factors. Finally, I will consider some of the ways by which we cannot only overcome the resistance that we meet in users, but take advantage of it by extracting from it important information on improving the system. |
