High tech, low yield: doctors' use of medical innovation.

American physicians' tendency to test too much and do too much is a major force in the rapid diffusion of medical technology. To manage medical technology humanely and responsibly, we must establish a basis for assessing the benefits and costs that will enable us to make rational coverage and payment decisions. We must also devise a means of holding providers of care accountable for weighing the benefits and costs in using the technology.

The role of pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics in promoting access and stimulating innovation.

Answering the demanding questions asked of pharmacotherapy in the 21st century will require more reliance on the disciplines of pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics. Pharmacoepidemiology can help assess patterns and appropriateness of drug utilisation, provide explanations for poor compliance, quantify the frequency and severity of side effects, and aid in the design and evaluation of interventions to improve drug use and outcomes. Pharmacoeconomics can help determine whether a new costlier product offers sufficient clinical advantage over its predecessors to justify the increased cost. Taken together, pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics represent the next logical step in the evolution of medication assessment; their judicious deployment can help ensure both access to new medicines and innovation.

The role of knowledge utilization in adopting innovations from academic medical centers.

A literature review and an exploratory survey were conducted to find out about knowledge utilization activities in academic medical centers. Structured interviews were conducted with one respondent in each of ten selected programs in one center and were followed by qualitative data analysis concerning types of knowledge utilization activities and their effectiveness, and barriers and incentives to the success of knowledge utilization. Suggestions are provided for ways administrators in both academic and community medical centers may increase their effectiveness in using knowledge utilization strategies to promote the adoption of innovations.

Challenges to the introduction of new technologies to dental practice.

Despite promising breakthroughs in basic biomedical science, the pace at which innovative and disruptive new technologies are developed and introduced into dental practice lags behind that of medicine. This is largely a result of resource issues, both financial and human, as well as determinants in the marketplace. For example, the cost of developing a new drug or technology for dentistry and bringing it to market is often disproportionably high relative to the size of the dental market, thereby making it commercially unfeasible to pursue development. When a new technology is commercialized, its successful introduction can be facilitated by research that makes a compelling case for effective use. As our understanding of mechanisms of disease pathogenesis progresses, identifying compounds and technologies with applicability to both oral and systemic diseases could change the economics of dental product development and lead to additional innovative advances in our field.

Developing a poster about a clinical innovation. Part III: Presentation and evaluation.

This is the third in a series of three articles developed to assist the CNS in planning, producing, and presenting a clinical poster. In this article, actions that the poster presenter needs to take before, during, and after the conference and poster session are discussed. An evaluation tool to gauge participants' reactions is suggested. Examples given are specific to the clinical innovations project.

Shared governance: innovation or imitation?

Is nursing shared governance an innovation or merely an imitation of other organizational governances? A simple determination is confused by the euphemisms applied to similar governance forms and the simultaneous occurrence of related concepts like participation and decentralization. In the absence of a common model, anecdotal literature suggests that the implementation of shared governance in specific hospitals contributes to further innovation in governance.

Innovation adoption: introducing I.V. patient controlled analgesia to the nursing workplace.

Technology in the nursing workplace is inevitable but what is not certain is how well these technologies will be initially accepted by nurses. One technological innovation that has appeared in some Canadian hospitals is IV Patient Controlled Analgesia (IV PCA), an innovative technique for pain management, employing the use of a computer-driven pump. Few nursing studies have examined the adoption of technological innovations. This qualitative study examines the incorporation of IV PCA to the nursing workplace and job-related factors that influenced it. A five-phase integration process was identified along with factors impacting on this process. Incorporating IV PCA into nursing practice involved the nurses' judgements of the influence of this innovation on the nurses' comfort with care delivery; the patient/nurse relationship; managing the technology; and the relationship with other health care professionals and patients' family/visitors. Anxiety accompanied the integration process, peaking as IV PCA was introduced to patient care. Findings of this study suggest that actions and decisions initiated by nurse administrators and educators have the potential to influence the successful adoption of this innovation.

Implementing innovations in health care settings.

Innovations in health care settings are occurring at an unprecedented rate. New methods and ideas include computerized pumps, computer systems for documentation and communication, and alternative approaches to patient care. To be successfully adopted by nurses, innovations require well-planned administrative, educational and clinical support. A multi-agency research study has revealed factors that should be considered when planning innovations in health care settings.
