Background:

Heart disease is a leading cause of death and hospitalization in the US.
Over 60 million Americans suffer from cardiac disease, with rising surgical and catheterization rates.
The delivery of cardiac services is rapidly evolving due to technological advancements, particularly in non-surgical treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

To guide hospitals in understanding market shifts in cardiovascular service delivery.
To analyze the impact of technological forces on the organization and structure of cardiac care systems.
To provide strategic planning insights for hospitals facing competition in cardiovascular services.

Main Methods:

Analysis of technological forces impacting cardiovascular service delivery.
Examination of strategic, financial, and market planning issues.
Inclusion of methodologies for market assessment and financial planning, including sample reports.
Consideration of clinical factors in cardiology department operations.

Main Results:

The balance of power is shifting from cardiac surgery to cardiology.
Less invasive diagnostic and treatment procedures are increasing in sophistication.
Hospitals face complex strategic decisions due to competing services and market dynamics.

Conclusions:

Hospitals must adapt their ownership, organization, and structure to evolving cardiovascular service delivery models.
Strategic planning, market assessment, and financial models are crucial for developing effective cardiology programs.
Understanding both invasive and non-invasive cardiology technologies is essential for successful program development and patient care.
