HIEM Head of Innovation Programme Delivery
This ADHD awareness month, we are highlighting work we are leading to improve the care pathway for people with ADHD and support the identification, development, and use of digital technologies.
The work will bring together insights and learning from people with lived experience, data, research, innovation, and clinical practice to explore how digital tools can help address current challenges for people with ADHD and the care pathways that support them.
It supports the delivery of the national shift of health services from analogue to digital wherever possible, to help people access the support they need more quickly and improve outcomes.
In this blog Tracey Jackman, Head of Innovation Programme Delivery at HIEM tells us more about the work and how we are using learning from our previous programme – Focus ADHD which improved ADHD diagnosis in children and young people.
One thing the NHS has never been short of is pilots. How many of them “stick”? How many of them become Business as Usual (BAU) and, even better, spread to other services or organisations?
It’s very difficult to pin down an accurate answer to these questions but the 2009 NHS sustainability guide suggested that up to 70% of all organisational change fails to survive. A great many of these change efforts are likely to be in the form of pilots.
In this blog, Head of Innovation Pipeline Development, Suzanne Horobin, and Head of Innovation Programme Delivery, Tracey Jackman, look at value proposition in more detail and address a number of other factors that will have an impact on whether innovation can move beyond a pilot into spread and adoption.
They discussed the themes in the blog in more detail at our Innovation Insights webinar on Tuesday 28th November.
Head of Innovation Programme Delivery, Tracey Jackman discusses a new Health Inequalities programme being rolled out in the East Midlands. This blog covers the need for a programme of this kind, and how we are working with local systems to adopt this, so people who experience poorer health outcomes have better access to treatment, innovative medicines, and medical technologies.
This week is Patient Safety Awareness Week, an annual campaign from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). This well-respected world-wide initiative underpins much of the work we deliver through our Patient Safety Collaborative, to improve people’s safety when they use health and care services.
It seems obvious that we should all aspire to deliver safer care, but is not necessarily simple to achieve. Safety for staff and those who receive care is dependent on a number of factors including the use of clear, evidence-based practice and processes, as well as positive safety culture and learning environment.
Barriers can come from many places: misunderstood communication, unhelpful culture, or increasing demands on staff time, which reduce the time to learn and consider what could be improved.
East Midlands Patient Safety Collaborative is recruiting for two Senior Improvement Leads. In this blog former lead, Tracey Jackman shares her experience of the role and gives insight into the opportunities available.
