Innovation Health and Wealth Innovation Health and Wealth was launched in December 2011 by the Prime Minister alongside the Life Sciences Strategy It is the NHS’s contribution to the Plan for Growth What should be done to drive innovation? Why is innovation important to the NHS? Innovation transforms patient outcomes Innovation can simultaneously improve quality and productivity Innovation is good for economic growth Reduce variation and increase compliance of NICE guidelines Publish uptake metrics Establish a more systematic delivery mechanism Align incentives and rewards Improve procurement Develop our people and hard wire innovation into training Strength leadership in innovation Identify and mandate High Impact Innovations
Academic Health Science Networks Academic Health Science Networks will: • be a “systematic delivery mechanism for diffusion and collaboration” • “align … clinical research, informatics, training and education and healthcare delivery” • “improve patient and population health outcomes” Innovation Health and Wealth says • Progress: • The NHS Chief Executive and the Chief Medical Officer designated 15 networks - go live during 2013/14 • Funding has been allocated and contracts are currently being signed
Clarity of Purpose Core Purpose Identification, adoption and spread of innovation and best practice Key Linkages and Levers that enable the core purpose of AHSNs to be delivered Additional functions that locally the partners want to deliver through the AHSN
Participation in AHSNs (1) 15 nationwide therefore importance of collaboration. Footprint 3-5 million alignment with other geographies, such as Clinical Senates, Strategic Clinical Networks and Health Education England is essential. Funding from a ‘sunset review’ of other bodies For the NHS opportunity to develop state-of-the art proven innovations and best practice in partnership, benefiting from the sharing of learning and expertise about innovation and best practice in an innovation network
Participation in AHSNs (2) For industry – helps creates the new relationship that is described in Innovation Health and Wealth and give a point of contact for the NHS • For higher education institutions – helps demonstrate impact of research as part of the life sciences agenda but the offer needs to be attractive and tangible AHSNs will work together - to spread innovations and have a national voice
The licence Five year licence from NHS England to the AHSN that would be: An agreement between the members of the network and the NHS England that they will work together to improve patient care and population health; A “contract” to deliver defined tasks and outcomes for which network will receive funding from the NHS England, including local resources that the members will contribute. AHSNs will be able to bid for other contracts and they may decide to work together to bid for contracts at a national level
Four licence areas • Identify and address unmet need • Speed up adoption of innovation • Identify and enable research • Create wealth • No ‘blueprint’
Success • Having a plan to build local partnerships across autonomous organisations • Shared values • Strong working partnerships – commissioners and providers (CCGs have a legal duty to promote innovation) • Local leadership and energy for working across boundaries • Clarity on operational delivery • National shared purpose across AHSNs • No duplication locally or nationally
Challenges • AHSNs give a simpler and supportive landscape but…… • Central direction v local determination • Developing a culture of implementation across boundaries • Developing collaboration across regions for the benefit of residents • Developing whole pathway and whole system metrics
