Thai Hospitals

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the relationship between the use of modern technology and mortality rates in hospitals. The paper illustrates how the mortality rate in Thai hospitals could be affected if U.S. technologies were used more profusely within community-based and private hospitals in Thailand. The data collected and presented in this study reveals the importance of advanced technology.

From the Paper:

"In Thailand hospitals, modern technology used in community hospitals is somewhat limited and typically consists of the use of X-Ray technology and ultrasound for imaging and diagnosis (Dionson, 2003). Many community hospitals currently lack the advanced technology available in US hospitals that has been proven to save lives. There are several private institutions within Thailand however, that do offer more advanced technology. However, Thai hospitals historically have focused on health improvement measures unrelated to technological advances, including alternative health care and prevention mechanisms. These aspects of health care will be excluded for purposes of conducting this study; however their relation to mortality rates and significance for future study use will be examined in some detail."
