EHMA 2024 plenary session on 'Innovating Service Delivery : The Challenge Of Transformation'

This session was recorded on the 7th of June 2024 during the EHMA 2024 Conference.
Health systems are currently facing a myriad of challenges simultaneously. Merely addressing these challenges through incremental service improvements may fall short of meeting the demands of our evolving healthcare landscape; instead, we must embrace innovation. By exploring innovative methods of delivering healthcare, including novel models of care and technology-driven solutions, we can enhance both the quality and efficiency of care delivery when implemented widely and appropriately.
Despite the abundance of innovative ideas, models, and best practices available, leveraging them to strengthen health systems and effectively address challenges remains a formidable task. Too often, well-intentioned innovations and transformation initiatives become ensnared in the technical and political complexities inherent within health systems.
In this plenary session, we will introduce a comprehensive framework for effectively navigating these complexities. This framework will encompass the roles of policymakers, the importance of vision and strategy, strategies for aligning top-down and bottom-up approaches, and the mobilization of resources necessary for successful transformation. Recognizing that transforming health service delivery is a continuous and long-term endeavour, we will also delve into the critical aspect of transformation continuity.
Furthermore, this session will showcase real-world examples of successful transformations and innovations in health service delivery, with a specific focus on digital solutions, optimising the health workforce, and e.g. adoption of advanced therapy medicinal products. Through these examples, participants will gain valuable insights into practical strategies for driving positive change within their own healthcare settings.
