Integrating new technology with managed care contracting.
The authors of this case study assisted eight teaching hospitals affiliated with the medical school of New Jersey in a financial analysis of the economic impact associated with utilization of the coronary artery stent implant. Consisting of a former health system CEO, a financial consultant/hospital trustee and an experienced hospital executive, this team shared their findings with medical and administrative staff to develop best practice models. The results of a new extended patient follow-up study contrasting outcomes and cost for stent vs. PTCA procedures will be reported later this year.
