Innovation: Putting evidence to work
Is it possible that we already have enough evidence to be able to revolutionise how we provide healthcare? Sir Muir Gray, the keynote speaker in our second HINZ seminar this June, believes we have to find better ways of using evidence to make healthcare sustainable.
The seminar also celebrates the opening week of Ko Awatea, the Centre for Health Service Innovation and Improvement. Ko Awatea, which means, ‘New Beginnings’, is envisioned to become the strategic hub for the Counties Manukau health system.

Implementing Healthcare Information Technology Presented by: Liz Schoff The use of a pilot implementation is a common project management approach for introducing technology. Yet the relationship between a pilot and a full implementation is not always clear. Liz discusses how themes of risk, adoption, value and evolutionary learning are characteristic of pilots and how these themes reflect the pilot design and its impact on the final, full implementation. |
