The '''Normalization Process Model''' is a theory that explains how new technologies are embedded in health care work.<ref>May, C. 2006. "A rational model for assessing and evaluating complex interventions in health care." BMC Health Services Research 6: 1-11.[http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6963/6/86].</ref> The model was developed by [[Carl R May]] and co-workers,<ref>Finch, T. L., F. S. Mair, and C. R. May. 2007. "Teledermatology in the UK: lessons in service innovation." British Journal of Dermatology 156: 521-527; May, C., M. Mort, T. Williams, F.S. Mair, and L. Gask. 2003a. "Health Technology Assessment in its local contexts: studies of telehealthcare." Social Science and Medicine 57: 697-710; May, C.R., R. Harrison, T. Finch, A. MacFarlane, F.S. Mair, and P. Wallace. 2003b. "Understanding the normalization of telemedicine services through qualitative evaluation." Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association 10: 596-604.</ref> and is an empirically derived [[grounded theory]] in [[medical sociology]] and [[Science and Technology Studies]] (STS), based on [[qualitative methods]]. Carl May developed the model after he appeared as a witness at a [[British House of Commons]] Health Committee Inquiry on New Medical Technologies in the NHS in 2005.<ref>House of Commons Health Committee. (2005) Inquiry on New Medical Technologies in the NHS. [http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.com/pa/cm200405/cmselect/cmhealth/398/39802.htm]</ref> He asked how new technologies became routinely embedded, and taken-for-granted, in everyday work, in view of the increasing corporate [[organization]] and [[regulation]] of [[healthcare]].<ref>May, C. 2007. "The clinical encounter and the problem of context." Sociology 41: 29-45.</ref> The model explains embedding by looking at the work that people do to make it possible.
