The rapid advancement of healthcare technologies has significantly transformed drug delivery systems in modern hospital settings, particularly in private healthcare institutions. Technology-assisted drug delivery, including smart infusion pumps, automated medication dispensing systems, electronic medication administration records (e-MAR), digital monitoring devices, and AI-driven decision-support tools, has the potential to enhance medication accuracy, patient safety, and overall clinical outcomes. This review-based study aims to critically examine existing literature on the effectiveness of technology-assisted drug delivery systems in improving patient outcomes, with a specific focus on private hospitals in Kolkata. Drawing upon peer-reviewed journal articles, systematic reviews, clinical trials, and relevant reports, this paper synthesizes evidence on how technological interventions in medication delivery influence treatment effectiveness, medication adherence, error reduction, patient satisfaction, and hospital operational efficiency. The review also explores managerial and implementation challenges faced by private hospitals in adopting these technologies, including cost, infrastructure readiness, staff training, and regulatory compliance. Findings from the literature suggest that while technology-assisted drug delivery systems offer considerable benefits in minimizing medication errors and enhancing patient monitoring, their successful implementation depends largely on hospital management strategies, organizational readiness, and user acceptance. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge by integrating healthcare technology and hospital management perspectives, highlighting implications for policy, practice, and future research in Indian private hospital settings...
