Evaluation of the impact of technical physicians on improving individual patient care with technology.

Background: The rapid introduction of technical innovations in healthcare requires that professionals are adequately prepared for correct clinical use of medical technology. In response to the technological transformation of healthcare, a new type of professional, the Technical Physician (TP), was created and is trained to improve individual patient care using technology tailored to the needs of individual patients. This study investigates the TPs' impact on patient care in terms of innovation, effectiveness, efficiency, and patient safety.
