PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., May 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ECRI Institute (www.ecri.org), an independent nonprofit that researches the best approaches to improving patient care, reveals its top 10 list of health technologies that hospital c-suite executives should have on their radar now. The just-released list takes into account the convergence of critical patient safety, economic, and regulatory pressures facing healthcare executives today.

The final 10 list includes today's hottest technologies and technology-related issues across a variety of clinical and operational areas, such as health IT, cardiovascular surgery, oncologic radiation, procurement, infection control, and imaging and radiology services.

ECRI Institute's Top 10 Hospital Technology Issues: C-Suite Watch List for 2009 and Beyond, available for free download, contains easy-to-read overviews and ECRI Institute's unbiased perspectives on complex and high-profile technologies and processes of care that are prominent and will continue to be so in the next few years. The new executive report is intended to help guide healthcare leaders in planning for capital expenditures.

"Prioritizing is a tough but essential job for executives who face a squeeze on their capital budgets, insistent demand from clinicians concerned with patient care and personal income, and the wellbeing and strategic directions of their institutions," says Jeffrey C. Lerner, Ph.D., president and CEO, ECRI Institute. "This difficult-to-compile ranking of 10 critical technologies will help them to pay close attention to technologies and issues that have a significant impact."
