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 |
|---|---|
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 |
The National Patient Safety Improvement Programmes (NatPatSIPs) support a culture of safety, continuous learning and sustainable improvement across the healthcare system. |
The MedTech Funding Mandate (MTFM) |
The MedTech Funding Mandate (MTFM) is an NHS Long Term Plan commitment to give patients access to selected NICE approved, cost-efficient technologies more quickly. We are working with suppliers to support trusts to implement the selected innovations, understand local and regional issues and share learnings from NHS organisations who have already implemented them. |
The System Safety Improvement Programme |
Working with Integrated Care Systems to create optimal conditions for patient safety improvement to flourish. |
The Medicines Safety Improvement Programme |
The Medicines Safety Improvement Programme brings safety culture, safety systems and the science of continuous safety improvement to bear on complex problems. |
Maternity and Neonatal Safety Improvement Programme – 2024/25 |
The programme works with all maternity and neonatal providers in our region on a range of key improvement workstreams, aiming to reduce the rate of stillbirths, neonatal death and brain injuries. |
Martha’s Rule and Managing Deterioration |
The programme aims to reduce deterioration-associated harm by improving the prevention, identification, escalation and response to physical deterioration, through better system co-ordination and as part of safe and reliable pathways of care. |
Worthwhile Waiting |
Worthwhile Waiting offers a new care pathway for orthopedics patients (hip / knee) to work with their health coach or social prescriber to identify appropriate physical and mental wellbeing support services during the period they are waiting for surgical procedures. Health Innovation East is funding an evaluation to understand how the resource affects patient outcomes. |
