The proliferation of technology in hospitals has reached a point where care must be observed both in the introduction of new technology and in the use of existing technology. To achieve this goal, a behavioral modification on the part of hospitals, physicians, and the public must be brought about. Such a modification is best accomplished by the promotion of incentives within the system rather than by the imposition of stringent regulations that relegate provider and regulator to adversary positions.
