Medical technology, like MRI machines and specialized surgical kits, has become such a ubiquitous part of healthcare delivery that one often takes it for granted. However, who makes the decision to phase out older technology and bring in newer devices? Physicians? Payers? What goes into these decisions?

Dr. Guy David is the esteemed chair of the Healthcare Management department at the Wharton School of Business and a professor of medical ethics and health policy at the Perelman School of Medicine.
