Specific institutional factors are shown to be important to the uptake of these technologies. Health-care systems characterized as public contract systems and reimbursement systems have higher adoption rates than public-integrated health-care systems. Central control of funding of investments is negatively associated with adoption rates and the impact is of the same magnitude as the overall health-care system classification. GDP per capita also has a strong role in initial adoption. The impact of income and institutional characteristics on the utilization rates of the three procedures diminishes over time.19442831engDiffusion of technologiesEconomic incentives and regulationTechnological changeHealth PolicySDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingjournal article10.1002/hec.1417https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/70350767547
