As integrated care systems continue to take shape in England, challenges remain over how to implement value-based procurement that enables smooth adoption of proven new technologies.
Although a number of national initiatives have sought to accelerate adoption of new technologies – such as the NHS AI Lab, including the AI Awards, take-up is slow.
Yet many of these technologies have the potential to help the NHS tackle current challenges, including waiting times for treatment and diagnostics, increasing demand and workforce shortages. Some are even recommended by NICE and others are proven to give value for money – but real-world procurement systems mean that it is difficult to make a case for investment that has an impact across a health and care economy, rather than in one part of it.
This webinar explored the challenges and opportunities for ICSs as they seek to drive innovation, streamline services, and ensure that procurement processes work across the system and not just for individual organisations or discrete areas.
Key questions included:
- What are the current barriers to swifter adoption of new technologies
- How can ICSs move to value-based procurement that works across the patient pathway? How would this impact positively/negatively with the new blended payments at a trust level?
- How can we release funds to support innovation and adoption of technology?
- Are there lessons that we can learn from areas that have successfully implemented new technologies?
- How can procurement processes be simplified to allow clinicians to implement proven new technologies and what support will they need?
- How do you encourage a culture that welcomes and embeds innovation to improve patient outcomes?
