Information
- Are current innovation ecosystems designed to support scale and longevity, or are they geared toward pilots and showcases?
- How do policy and regulatory timelines affect innovation success?
- What values guide adoption—efficiency, cost, patient outcomes, staff experience? Are these aligned?
- Are we prioritising tech that’s easy to buy, or tech that’s hard to implement but worth it?
- Are current procurement models flexible enough to allow innovation to thrive?
- Are we over-funding innovation and under-funding adoption and support infrastructure?
- How sustainable are short-term pots and challenge funds for long-term change?
- How do vendor lock-ins and EPR monopolies affect innovation, how do SME’s fit in?
