Saturation level: A given technology can impact on 100% of disease prevalence or DRG utilization (where the saturation is “1”) or on a certain percentage of that prevalence or utilization (where the saturation can be set to less than “1”) “Take-off” point: The “take-off” point (or year at which 50% of relevant healthcare facilities are using the technology) can be identified. Development lag: Time related to development of the technology and regulatory approval (as appropriate). For technologies just recently approved, this development lag is “0” Acceleration rate or “r”: Related to how rapidly the technology diffuses (reaches saturation) once available. Pharmaceuticals (with low cost and low side-effects) typically have a rapid (or large) acceleration rate, while surgical devices (high expense and extensive training involved) would have a slow (small) acceleration rate. This value can be predefined for most technologies.

Technology Diffusion: noninvasive angiography example This example forecasts the utilization of non-invasive coronary angiography (CTA and/or MRA based). In the future, the vast majority of noninvasive angiographies will be screening angiographies. Screening noninvasive angiographies will outnumber diagnostic noninvasive angiographies by a factor of 10 and both will plateau by around 2009. We also see that invasive angiographies (even despite an increase in angioplasty volumes) will decrease yet not be completely replaced by noninvasive angiography.

Technology Adoption Different institutions will fall on different portions of a given technology diffusion curve. An institution’s adoption rate of each technology can be computed by comparing the current (volume-adjusted) utilization of that technology at the institution relative to the (volume-adjusted) national utilization rate for that technology. In the example below, Institution #1 is a rapidly adopting institution with a volumeadjusted utilization higher than the current (2002) utilization. Institution #2, on the other hand, is a slower adopting institution with a utilization that is lower than the national (volume-adjusted) utilization.

Overall Technology Adoption Rating A complete technology adoption rate for an entire institution (or a department/service line) within an institution can thus be created which is simply the sum over all relevant technologies of the “differences” (positive or negative) described above.

The overall rating (relative to a national rating) can then be used to assign the institution into one of four categories: Initiators: Utilize technology typically in the first 10% of overall utilization Early Accelerators: Are in the 10% to 50% group of first utilizers. Accelerators: Are in the 50% to 90% group of utilizers. Conservative: Are in the last 10% of utilizers
