User needs elicitation via analytic hierarchy process (AHP). A case study on a Computed Tomography (CT) scanner
BACKGROUND The rigorous elicitation of user needs is a crucial step for both medical device design and purchasing. However, user needs elicitation is often based on qualitative methods whose findings can be difficult to integrate into medical decision-making. This paper describes the application of AHP to elicit user needs for a new CT scanner for use in a public hospital. METHODS AHP was use...

Abstract: elicitation of user needs is a crucial step before medical device design and purchasing. Nonetheless, user needs elicitation is often based on qualitative methods, whose findings are difficult to integrate into medical information in decision making. This paper describes an application of AHP to support user need elicitation in a public hospital. The case study is the acquisition and ...
متن کاملThe Analytic Hierarchy Process (ahp) and the User Need Elicitation in the Health Technology Assessment (hta)
The use of scientific quantitative methods to support decision making is becoming necessary in healthcare systems, especially for Health Technology Assessment (HTA), which is a particularly complex decision making processes. This paper, after introducing three case studies in which the AHP was used to elicit user needs, generalize the method employed, provides recommendations and discusses crit...
متن کاملInteractive Management Control Via Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). an Empirical Study in a Public University Hospital
Management control in public university hospitals is a challenging task because of continuous changes due to external pressures (e.g. economic pressures, stakeholder focuses and scientific progress) and internal complexities (top management turnover, shared leadership, technological evolution, and researcher oriented mission). Interactive budgeting contributed to improving vertical and horizont...
متن کاملApplication of Interval-valued Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Approach in Selection Cargo Terminals, a Case Study
Cargo terminals are the gateways for entrance of commodities into the transportation network. Therefore, locating them in optimal location could have a major impact on the cost effectiveness and efficiency of transport, traffic safety and reduction in environmental pollutions. Due to the presence of a large number of parameters involved and the existing uncertainties, decision making in this fi...
