Setting capital priorities...


The Forecasting Chasm

Trends are often clear but timing isn’t.

Ergo… Changing too soon and/or changing too late are deadly.

Will intraoperative MRI become a standard of care at every hospital?

Will hospitals be in the genetic medicine business?


Outline: The Forecasting Chasm

Expert opinions often conflict.

Forecasting technology is a lot like forecasting economics.

“I wish I could find a one-handed economist.”—Harry Truman


Outline: The Forecasting Chasm

Trends are easier to predict than breakthroughs and are often evolutionary in nature.

The timing of a revolution is incredibly hard to predict…but a little planning goes a long way.

The tipping point –Malcolm Gladwell.



How many people take Lipitor?

When it comes to new technology, if you are not part of the steam roller, you are part of the road.

--Stewart Brand



The robots are breeding like rabbits!

Where is technology headed?

19

Six Macro Technology Trends

Genetic/Molecular Medicine Computer-related technologiesHome and Self-careMinimally invasive proceduresDevice/drug hybrid productsOrgan replacement/assist devices using

hardware and tissue-engineering


Key Technology Trends

1. Diffusion of electronic medical records and clinical decision support systems

2. Convergence of medical devices and information technology



Everything wants to be connected to everything

22

Cleveland Clinic’s “Top 10” Innovations

Heart failure patients use telehealth technologies

Transoral weight-loss surgery Nitric oxide analysis for asthma diagnosisOral treatment for Multiple SclerosisPediatric capsule endoscopy for GI

disorders



Ultrahigh-Field-Strength Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) 3.0 Tesla systems slowly

diffusing

Provides higher resolution images

Primary application is neuro studies for right now

28


Dual-Source and 256-Slice Computed Tomography

This technology may be used for cardiac scanning

May provide lower dose and improved resolution

25-50% more expensive than single source CT

29


Multislice Computed Tomography Angiography to Detect Coronary Artery Disease

Rapid diffusion

Will replace some cardiac cath

May act as gatekeeper to cardiac cath

30

Intraoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Diffusion is slow and limited to large teaching and surgery hospitals

Cost remains a major barrier to adoption (up to $5.5 million)



Digital Breast Tomosynthesis

Provides tomographic view –reduces overlapping tissue blurring

May cost 20-60% more than digital mammo

32

Radiofrequency (RF) Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Increasing use of RF ablation could burden treatment centers.

Higher upfront costs could eliminate longer term drug costs.



Bioabsorbable Stents

Bare metal and drug eluting in development

Stents “disappear” over time after implantation

May reduce thrombus

3-5 years away

34


Artificial Heart as Bridge to Transplantation

Very slow diffusion

35


Artificial Intervertebral Disc Replacement for Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease

Diffusion slow so far

Poor reimbursement

Limited long-term evidence

36


Robot-assisted Surgery for all Applications

Currently being used in cardiology, urology, and gynecology

Diffusion seems to be accelerating as applications expand

Robotic neurosurgery on the horizon

37

Bronchial Thermoplasty for the Treatment of Asthma

Endoscopic procedure uses R/F energy

Reduces smooth muscle in airway

Received FDA approval in April 2010


Therapeutic Vaccines for Colorectal Cancer

Designed to harness body’s immune response

One compound has received fast-track designation from US FDA

3-5 years until early adoption


Drug-eluting Angioplasty Balloons

Early adoption in 1-3 years

Could reduce the use of drug-eluting stents

Several products have approval from European Union


Wearable Artificial Kidney

Several teams working on this technology

Mobile “dialysis” Not yet FDA approved


Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery

Speed recovery and reduce pain

E.g. gall bladder removed through the mouth!

42

Image-guided Radiation Therapy


Deep Brain Stimulation: A shocking development

Brain “pacemaker”

Current treatment for Parkinson's

Potential for depression



Implantable Eye Telescope:

Used to treat macular degeneration

Approval by U.S. FDA in March of 2009


ECRI’s Radar Screen– Technology for …

Advances in mobility—Bionic arms, exoskeletons, and IBOTs!


Human Genome Project: Or Baby Needs a New Pair of Genes.

Understanding genetic variations and impact on disease

What is the vision for a provider today?

For example, BRCA1/BRCA2 for breast cancer

Intuition and experts can be misleading…


…(especially when estimating probabilities)

Strategies for Success

Implement evidence-based technology decision-making process for medical capital

Add organized horizon-scanning into your five-year strategic capital plan

Ensure your healthcare strategy includes a clinical technology strategy



D. Berwick,JAMA, April 16, 2003-Vol. 289, No. 15 (Reprinted)

where are you?

Strategies for Success

Technology AcceleratorsGood-to-great organizations think differently

about technology and technological change than mediocre ones.

Good-to-great organizations avoid technology fads and bandwagons, yet they become pioneers in the application of carefully selected technologies.

Jim Collins, Good to Great (New York: HarperCollins Publishers Inc. 2001), 162.


In short, do your homework.
