    AbstractDecision-making about health technologies is complex. An aspect that is not often addressed is the potential impact of both hope and hype regarding these technologies. This article discusses the commercialization of hope and how "hope hype" can influence our decision-making. As health leaders have a pivotal role in how these types of decisions are made, opportunities for and suggestions related to structuring decision-making processes to critically engage with "hope hype" are also canvassed. © 2015 The Canadian College of Health Leaders.
