Last week, we could find on the web various innovative experiments in the field of health:
The Dr. Casado we talked about the Seminars Innovation in Primary Care, organized by Dr. Juan Gervás 6 years ago and wondered about the advisability of including patients on them. One option that several seemed so interesting and I do not understand why it has to be source of fear.
For his part, Rafael Pardo shared with us the presentation initiative i2Health Sant Pau, launched by the hospital of the same name, which will rely on the living lab approach , so that is precisely the patient, the center of the project. In your blog you have more information and you can also follow development of this whole story and facebook twitter:
i Sant Pau 2Health born with the user in mind, with an attitude, a mindset 2.0; dialogue must prevail, must prevail feedback and the classical approaches of research and development simply will not do.
We must go much further.So after evaluating different methodological approaches, it was decided that i2Health Sant Pau function as a LivingLab.A LivingLab is an organized environment around the user, integrating development and innovation processes concurrent within a pact to integrate government, private sponsorship and above all, citizens.Another definition would be that of an open innovation environment, which features real life, in which the innovations developed by citizens is part of the co-creation of new services, products and social infrastructure.The fact of using this methodology implicit in concepts of simulation, for the development and testing requires the user to feel the environment is as close to reality as possible ...So if we want to emulate an environment dependence, a home, we should create a space within Sant Pau i2Health simulating a home.If we want to emulate a hospital within the Center, we create a space that simulates a mini hospital.A hospital within a hospital ...And for that, should participate on an equal footing engineers, clinicians and patients.Nobody said it was easy.
is not easy, no. Neither is the management innovation of which we speak Health and Management. A claim that another type of innovation, more than scientific, is not only possible, but is also vital for organizations and provides a major value if we change the ways of doing stuck in the past. The
Hospital Sant Joan Deu have decided to go down this path, where " assistance, but also research and innovation, try to solve the problems of patients and ways to transmit knowledge that It follows are teaching and dissemination ". In this other link, share with us the lessons learned in this journey of innovation in management .
It seems that some people are getting innovate despite the difficulties. And while I summarize these efforts, I keep thinking about what Juan Urrutia once told us: "Why innovate ?"..." Because all the other innovators. "
