The adoption space of early-emerging technologies: evaluation, innovation, gatekeeping (Pathways to Adoption of Technologies in Healthcare - PATH)

Aims: the research aims to provide an empirical, robust foundation for the broader task of identifying the factors involved in appropriate technology adoptive practice. It focuses on understanding and explaining adoptive behaviour in key early-emerging technologies. It provides a major set of documented case studies as resources for the NHS/Service Delivery & Organisation RD and inter-technology comparisons. Cross-case syntheses and comparisons will develop the conceptual model of the adoption space and strengthen its explanatory power for understanding the determinants of early adoption-evaluation pathways.
