No successful innovation in healthcare without implementation
I got the opportunity to deliver a lecture on the importance of focusing on implementation when innovating in healthcare at AIT Entrepreneurship Center at Asian Institute of Technology at the beautiful campus just outside of Bangkok.
No Successful Innovation in Healthcare without Implementation. Technology alone is not enough. The true challenge and opportunity lie in adoption, diffusion, scaling, and sustained use. Implementing innovation is not a one-time rollout—it’s an ongoing effort to institutionalize new practices. The challenge is global in all healthcare systems – Denmark, Asia…:
Leaders must actively manage the transition from pilot to routine, including:
* Securing long-term funding
* Supporting behavior change
* Adjusting roles, routines, and regulations
* Building feedback and learning loops
Implementation Science is a field that we need to study more and apply. Research has led to the design of frameworks that can help both healthcare organisations and industry – and we need to work together. I my own work, I have come across several implementation frameworks and tools that can inspire and structure messy realities.
Great to be with inspiring faculty and engaged students at the Entrepreneurship Center. Thanks to all for the fruitful discussion about this important topic and sharing your own local experiences added so much to the content.
