Abstract
ABSTRACT.The aim of this paper is to illuminate the process by which new technology in the field of electroencephalography has modified health manpower requirements. Specifically, the paper explores 1) the nature and the sequential phases of the process by which technological change creates shifts in the quantity and quality of health manpower employed, and 2) the resulting impacts on health manpower training institutions. A case study research design was developed by applying a process model, conceptualized for this study, which identifies, describes, and analyzes the key technological and manpower changes involved in the historic evolution of EEG technology, using qualitative data from sources in the literature. This study suggests that, as a result of technological change, labor intensiveness has increased over time due to higher levels of expertise requirements and specialization. Labor intensiveness increases are reflected by the larger number of occupations involved in EEG testing, higher investment...
