We support projects at different stages of the innovation pathway to deliver meaningful change to health and care. These are some of the programmes of work and innovations we have supported.
| PROJECT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
The System Safety Improvement Programme (SSIP) |
The aim of the programme is to create optimal conditions for patient safety improvement to flourish through working closely with integrated care systems (ICSs). |
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programme |
Improving the detection and management of the high-risk conditions atrial fibrillation (AF), high blood pressure and high cholesterol as well as early diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolaemia. |
Focus ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) |
The Focus ADHD programme aims to transform the diagnosis of ADHD across the region. As part of our Focus ADHD programme we use the QbTest which is an objective assessment tool for the assessment of ADHD. |
Improving diagnosis of eating disorders |
Supporting mental health teams to speed up diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders in young people using the First episode Rapid Early intervention for Eating Disorders (FREED) service. This is a national Health Innovation Network adoption and spread initiative. |
Improving lives of people with severe asthma |
Health Innovation East is supporting the adoption of biologic treatments to reduce the number and severity of exacerbations, hospitalisations and deaths. |
Measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) concentration in asthma |
FeNO testing is a method of diagnosing asthma by measuring fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in the breath of patients. It aims to improve patient care and outcomes by more effective diagnosis of patients suspected of having asthma. Rollout supported nationally by the AHSN Network as part of the Rapid Uptake Product (RUP) programme. |
MediShout |
MediShout provides a digital platform to integrate all logistical departments, giving clinicians an app to instantly report any issue and track the progress to resolution, while using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict future problems. |
Opioid deprescribing toolkit |
The Health Innovation East is working in partnership with the ARC and Norfolk and Waveney CCG to improve the quality of life of people living with chronic pain and reducing the harm caused by opioids and other dependence forming medication. |
Placental growth factor (PlGF) based testing |
PlGF-based testing can help with clinical risk stratification for women with suspected pre-eclampsia, meaning they can be treated appropriately according to their need, improving both patient experience and outcomes. |
The National Patient Safety Improvement Programmes (NatPatSIPs) |
The National Patient Safety Improvement Programmes (NatPatSIPs) support a culture of safety, continuous learning and sustainable improvement across the healthcare system. |
