Innovation vs Invention? Innovation differs from invention and refers to the use of a better and, as a result, novel idea or method, whereas invention refers more directly to the creation of the idea, method or device itself So innovation doesn t always involve an invention
Innovation at CHS What we think it is: Ideas New or modified devices Processes innovative pathways or service development, lean Original and more effective
Innovation at CHS What we think it isn t: Standard or Expected Processes Implementing routine new pathways, service development, lean (e.g. as per NICE guidance or specialist guidelines)
Innovation at CHS What we think it isn t: Standard or Expected Processes Implementing routine new pathways, service development, lean (eg as per NICE guidance or specialist guidelines) However the way they are introduced or implemented may be innovative..
Innovation is all of these.. Identifying unmet needs Thinking differently Change that makes a positive difference Finding new uses for existing technology / devices Applying better solutions to problems Developing new solutions to problems New ways of delivering an existing service (e.g. telehealth) Transformative to patient care and experience
