Introduction
The world of healthcare is ever evolving. True innovation introduces solutions that break away from established approaches in health systems and services, that can enable transformation and change in how healthcare is delivered and accessed. This seminar dives into the essence of innovation in healthcare, by emphasizing ideas that can improve health services through the critical role of the workforce.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health innovation as new or improved solutions with the transformative ability to accelerate positive impact on health. This includes advancements that can enhance efficiency, effectiveness, quality, sustainability, safety, or affordability of health services, such as new or improved policies, practices, systems, products, technologies, services, and delivery methods.
This seminar will explore the following questions:
- What constitutes innovation in the context of the health workforce?
- Can we identify current examples of workforce innovation and technological advancement in healthcare practice?
- How are health workforce-specific innovations and technological advancements being delivered and adopted globally?
- How can the workforce meaningfully contribute to the development and redesign of effective workforce innovations?
