HEALTHCARE INNOVATION: SHAPING FUTURE MODELS OF DELIVERY

Even prior to the COVID-19 pandemic global healthcare services faced the need to reshape healthcare delivery models in order to meet escalating demand, whilst maintaining quality of care and equity of access. What are the key factors that enable these critical changes to be delivered at scale and pace, and within the constraints of limited resources?

Seyed Esfahani and Halkes are academics and practitioners who have extensive expertise in healthcare innovation research and practice, and in this book they explore innovation in the health sector through discussions on forward-thinking technologies, covering development and manufacturing approaches, as well as innovation management and training. Case studies review the successful application of innovation models and technologies from Brazil, Portugal, Austria, the United Kingdom, Sweden and Europe. How the lessons learnt during the COVID pandemic can be drawn on to accelerate innovation in healthcare and shape future models of delivery is a consistent theme throughout the book.

Healthcare Innovation will be of interest and value to academics, healthcare professionals, innovation practitioners, and businesses, as well as those involved in setting strategy and policy. It highlights the key factors at an individual, organisational, and system level that need to be in place to enable effective healthcare innovation, as well as the spread and adoption of new practices.
