“…The NordDRG‐system in Finland does not consider how personnel resource‐demanding the patients are: instead the personnel costs are divided equally over all nursing care days. This criticism has been presented by a number of researchers (Halloran & Kiley 1987, Johnson Lutjens 1993). Today, there is a clear aim on an international level to connect the DRG‐system to the NCI and at some hospitals in Finland this is already possible today.…”

“…A more careful analysis of the connection between NCI, personnel resources and the length of hospital stay is also possible based on the connection to Nord DRG‐information. Some studies have shown that the NCI explains much more of the variations in the length of hospital stay than the weight coefficient of the DRG‐group (Halloran & Kiley 1987, Johnson Lutjens 1993). The length of the hospital stay is important for the total costs per patient.…”

Measuring the value of medical imaging is challenging, in part, due to the lack of conceptual frameworks underlying potential mechanisms where value may be assessed. To address this gap, this article proposes a framework that builds on the large body of literature on quality of hospital care and the classic structure-process-outcome paradigm. The framework was also informed by the literature on adoption of technological innovations and introduces 2 distinct though related aspects of imaging technology not previously addressed specifically in the literature on quality of hospital care: adoption (a structural hospital characteristic) and use (an attribute of the process of care). The framework hypothesizes a 2-part causality where adoption is proposed to be a central, linking factor between hospital structural characteristics, market factors, and hospital outcomes (ie, quality and efficiency). The first part indicates that hospital structural characteristics and market factors influence or facilitate the adoption of high technology medical imaging within an institution. The presence of this technology, in turn, is hypothesized to improve the ability of the hospital to deliver high quality and efficient care. The second part describes this ability throughout 3 main mechanisms pointing to the importance of imaging use on patients, to the presence of staff and qualified care providers, and to some elements of organizational capacity capturing an enhanced clinical environment. The framework has the potential to assist empirical investigations of the value of adoption and use of medical imaging, and to advance understanding of the mechanisms that produce quality and efficiency in hospitals.
