Professor Greenhalgh Board presentation

As part of the November 2019 AHSN Strategic Board workshop entitled: “You Say You Want a Revolution - Exploring the Workforce and Workflow Implications of Digital Health-tech Adoption,” Professor Trish Greenhalgh provided an overview of her work to address five persistent problems when implementing technological innovations in the NHS.

This presentation helped give our Board members a basis for a session on how to deliver the core AHSN business plan and strategy. The Board explored these factors with two new innovations – Lifelight and MedEngine. 

These slides are below, and the background paper and appendix are available to download (on the right of this page) too. 

Presentations by LifeLight and MedEngine are also available. 

More on the presentation:

Years of research by her team have determined digital technologies are commonly either (1) not adopted or (2) soon abandoned by professionals or their patients and clients, or else the technology-supported service succeeds as a small-scale demonstration project but (3) fails to scale up locally, (4) spread to other comparable settings or (5) be sustained over time. This NASSS framework outlined a range of research-informed factors important to the implementation of digital innovations.
