Abstract Competitive Healthcare Delivery: Involving Medical Technology of Computer Intelligence Competitive Healthcare Delivery: Involving Medical Technology of Computer Intelligence

Rising cost and increasing expectation from patients (consumers) have caused health care planners to seek ways in improving efficiency, while striking a balance with the quality of services offered. Consequently several successful healthmanagement organizations apply advanced computer technology as the catalyst for a whole new set of parameters for product design, development and operation to achieve excellence in their core business process. In this study, computer technologies refer primarily to technologies used for healthcare delivery services, which are related specifically to aid effective and efficient medical care for patients (the consumers). This study also explores how integrated emerging technologies can play a valuable role in cost-effective medical and health care delivery by means of computer technology
