How is Everett M. Rogers’s Diffusion of Innovations related to change?
How does it relate to advancements in health care and health care professionals using advancing technology?
Everett M. Rogers’s diffusion of Innovations relates to change because the end result of this diffusion is that people in the social system will adopt a new idea, behavior, and or product. Rogers considered the attributes of an innovation to be effective factors for adoption; he stated that the five attributes of an innovation are namely, relative advantage, compatibility, simplicity, observability, and trialability. These attributes are determinants of the adoption and diffusion of innovation in a target clinical community. Rogers states the process of adoption is followed by three steps: knowledge, persuasion, and decision. (Mohammadi et al., 2018) It relates to advancements in health care and health care professionals using advancing technology because technology drives health care more than any other force and is constantly changing in dramatic ways. Future technological innovation is going to keep transforming healthcare and Rogers’s process of innovation will have
individuals adopt or reject diffusion of innovation. (Thimbleby, 2013) “Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated through certain channels over time among members of a social system.” (Cain & Mittman, 2002) For example, a clinician may decide to use a new device or piece of technology, the clinician must consider not only the impact on the patient and on the practice but also what it means for reimbursement, health care policy, and within the organization. (Cain & Mittman, 2002)
