Overview lecture
Overview of the course
Which concepts forms the linking pin between all 6 cases?
Case 1 and 2: Innovation management
Why do we need to innovate in healthcare?
To deal with challenges, such as
- Ageing of the population
- Growing incidence of chronic diseases
- Pressure on the labor force
- Rising healthcare costs
- Strong demand for high quality of care
- Unequal accessibility of care
- Etc.
Redesigning healthcare
How can innovation facilitate the redesign of healthcare?
- By improving the performance of healthcare systems (improving quality of care)
- By improving health outcomes for individuals
- By increasing efficiency of healthcare
What are main challenges of innovation?
- Financial investments
- Waste (no implementation, time lag, no correct adaption)
- Increase costs
Healthcare is supported by four major industrial sectors
- Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology (‘biopharma’)
- Medical devices
- Information technology (IT)
- The built environment (design, engineering and construction)
Each sector has its own challenges in innovation in healthcare
Why can innovation in healthcare be more challenging than in other sectors?
- Healthcare is very complex
- Healthcare is always evolving
- Healthcare is heavily regulated
- Healthcare is highly politized
Innovation – what main elements are in its definition?
