Technology in health care - Blessing or curse?

This paper looks at technology and health care in terms of processes (here defined as goal-related, autonomous and self-regulated arrangement of actio ns) and their interactions. Using this approach, technology is considered t o be the quality of the processes we are trying to achieve. However, health care and the life around it is a complex network of closely interacting pr ocesses, and through their interactions, processes can influence each other in various ways. In many cases such interactions can result in unwanted, i nappropriate interference and the implementation of unsatisfactory health c are technologies.
