Challenges and Cultural Influences in the Growing Use of Medical Technology in the United States

The escalating dependence on medical technology inside the United States has unquestionably yielded a wide range of advantages, encompassing enhanced diagnostic capabilities and the availability of superior treatment modalities. Nevertheless, the rapid increase in the adoption of technology has presented various obstacles.

Challenges of Growing Medical Technology

The expense of developing and sustaining cutting-edge medical technology is a major barrier. The promise of better patient outcomes at the expense of rising healthcare expenses is a double-edged sword. In addition, it can be difficult to keep up with the pace of technological development in terms of training employees and integrating new systems. Both individual healthcare workers and healthcare organizations require ongoing training to keep up with the ever-changing nature of the technologies they use (Panayides et al., 2020).  Problems with interoperability are also an obstacle. Due to the siloed nature of many medical technologies, patient records tend to be disjointed and communication between healthcare practitioners is hampered. A lack of interoperability has the potential to disrupt patients’ care and put their health at risk.

Cultural Influences on Medical Technology

The use of medical technology is heavily impacted by the cultural views and values of the American people, with efforts to reduce costs serving as the primary focus. The cultural emphasis placed on autonomy and self-reliance frequently results in a demand for individualized approaches to healthcare that make use of the most recent technical breakthroughs (Lee & Lee, 2021). However, this demand for cutting-edge treatments and technologies is in direct conflict with the equally widespread need for cost containment inside the United States’ healthcare system.

Moreover, the cultural idea that development and innovation are inevitable in the United States contributes to the country’s strong urge to adopt new medical technologies. The cultural narrative of progress is aligned with the goal of achieving improved health outcomes as well as the conviction that science and technology have the potential to provide solutions to health challenges (Sovacool & Griffiths, 2020). However, this cultural propensity toward innovation can occasionally exceed the capability to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and long-term effects of the technology being developed.

Additionally, one cannot ignore the fact that the cultural value of consumerism in the American tradition has an effect on healthcare. Patients frequently have the mindset that they are entitled to receive the very best treatments and technology that are currently accessible to the medical community (Perski & Short, 2021). This consumer-driven mentality can contribute to the excessive use of medical technologies, which further fuels concerns about the ever-increasing cost of healthcare.

Integration of Biblical Perspective: Stewardship and Compassion in Medical Technology

From a biblical standpoint, ethical questions surrounding medical technology are crucial, governed by the values of stewardship and compassion contained in the Scriptures. The Bible stresses the value of stewardship, encouraging people to properly handle the possessions God has given them. That translates into a plea for cautious application of medical technology, taking into account its promises and risks. The New International Version of Proverbs 14:15 advises, “The simple believe anything, but the prudent give thought to their steps.” To make sure that the use of medical technology is consistent with ethical stewardship, the Bible advises us to give it careful thought.

The Bible also stresses the importance of protecting the vulnerable. The Gospels portray Jesus’ ministry as one marked by compassionate concern for the marginalized and sick. Bible verse (Matthew 14:14 NIV) reads: “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.” As such, it echoes the biblical command to show mercy to the ill. This translates to a determination to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their finances, have access to high-quality medical care. The biblical ethic of caring for the least of these is reflected in efforts to ensure that technological advances are broadly beneficial.

Therefore, growing reliance on medical technology has both positive and negative consequences in the United States. Striking a balance between the pursuit of technological innovation and the need to manage expenses necessitates careful consideration of cultural beliefs, values, and ethical standards.

[Solved] Match Across Multiple Record

Although medical technology brings numerous benefits, what have been some of the main challenges posed by the growing use of medical technology in the United States?  

 Technology has contributed to positive advancements within the healthcare delivery system but also has brought a fair share of challenges as well. Technology has improved the timeliness in which a patient receives care, unfortunately that does not always mean that the patient is receiving the same high quality of care simply because they are no longer sitting in a waiting room. “Technology has become an obstacle to patient/physician, patient/family, and physician/family relationships. Patients do not receive sufficient care in terms of both manner and motivation in the hospital or at home, which has confronted modern medicine with a serious problem called care crisis” (Babaii & Monajemi, 2022).

 Implementation of new technology means out with the old technology and in with the new. This leads to unnecessary electronic and biomedical waste. Substances found in biomedical electronic equipment are made of hazardous substances and contain substances that can spread infectious substances. “In recent decades, the production of medical waste has grown rapidly, due to the continuous advancement of medical technology and remarkable increase of medical treatment. Illegal dumping and inappropriate disposal of medical waste may cause secondary harm to human health and pollutant the environment” (Wei et al., 2021). Due to the potential risks, there are regulated means of disposal such as thermal treatment, steam sterilization, and incineration are just a few (epa.gov, 2023).

 One of the biggest risks posed by the implementation of technology within the healthcare system is specifically electronic health records, also referenced as EMR. Healthcare personnel have to find ways in order to make sure those records can match across multiple record  keeping platforms within each practice. The United States have not been able to successfully link platforms among providers  as of yet. Many times different providers utilize different programs from the others. “We need method(s) of accurately linking patients across organizations, locations, and time. Failure to recognize the same patient’s data in two different locations is potentially as important as incorrectly matching two different patients’ data” (Sittig et al, 2020). Americans do not want the government involved in their healthcare. The trust in the government from Americans have decreased from 78% in 1964 to 24% in 2014 (Dalen et al., 2022). Unfortunately, due to this lack of government involvement, there are no regulations for practices to use the same program to reduce errors.

How do American cultural beliefs and values influence the use of medical technology, to include cost and containment efforts?

 One’s culture and beliefs impact their perceptions on how they view quality of care as well as their expectations of what healthcare should look like as well. Cultural beliefs influence the use of medical technology by “having high expectations of finding cures through science and technology, and they equate use of advanced medical technology with high quality of care” (Shi & Singh, 2019, p. 110). Patients also want the most modern technology that practices have to offer for them. They want control over their healthcare and to feel involved in the process of ownership of their care such as digital devices and having access to providers. “With the increasing availability of digital technologies, the possibility exists for patients to communicate about health needs electronically from the comfort of their homes, avoiding unnecessary trips to the hospital, saving both time, travel, and costs” (Alexander et al., 2021).

 Taking control of our health is mentioned in scripture many times. Our bodies are important and are referenced as temples of God and our bodies are holy. 1 Corinthians 3:16-17 tells us, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are” (King James Version, 2008).
