Abstract:
:Executives of small hospitals and home health services have heard that this is the Age of Computers, Telecommunications, Robotics, and Gene Engineering, and they wonder if their organizations might benefit from the high technology and advanced management tools employed by big corporations and "leading edge" hospitals. But they are too tired and busy to greatly expand their technical/managerial expertise, especially since there are so many choices among possible innovations, ranging from robotics to management training, each choice demanding different new expertise, and each requiring an investment of time and energy. We helped several health care executives to identify their options for innovation. We offered a scoring scheme to sort out the innovation options (a simple but effective way to decide what innovation would be "right" for their organization), and a simple, "back of the envelope" tutorial on robotics in health care. The principle is to allow the administrators to make a quick evaluation of the paths they might wish to travel. Our point here is that for every "natural-born" innovator, there must be dozens of interested but uncommitted persons who need some gentle, simple help. To the extent that the diffusion of medical systems depends on a mass market, these fence-sitters must receive help and guidance.
