Community of Practice for Health Innovation

Community of Practice Health Innovation Management

Objectives

  • Share knowledge and know-how about healthcare innovation management.
  • Mobilize innovation leaders/practitioners and connect people from different contexts.
  • Build trust and strong relationships among CoP members to increase the velocity of knowledge sharing.

Health innovation management is complex yet cutting-edge. As the field emerges, we believe it is essential to share and mobilize evidence-based knowledge and know-how – starting now. This is why we’ve created a community of practice with engaged innovation leaders and practitioners from organizations around the world.

Why start now?
Healthcare is in dire need for a cost-effective digital transformation with an increased focus on patient and citizen partnership approach. The ultimate goal of health innovation management is to support and facilitate the transformation of practices and organizations. As a result, our community aims to improve the health and well-being of populations across the globe.

Benefits

  • Inspire people to initiate change in the way they manage innovation
  • Re-energize communities
  • Accelerated learning
  • De-risk the re-organization of innovation practices through fast and cost-effective learning

future communications

  • Summary sheets, blogs, white papers, joint publications in scientific journals.
  • Local onsite visits.

Format

  • Monthly calls with presentations and discussion; some on-site visits.
  • Evidence-based approach, since knowledge is at the core of innovation.
  • The evidence-based approach builds on three key elements:
    1. Feed the >> Need-Box << with the needs of CoP members; the needs then support the other two elements below;
    2. The session facilitator shares with the community members a story about their own experimentation, a case study, a podcast, a scientific paper, an opinion piece around any theme tackling health innovation management;
    3. The facilitators ask 2-3 questions to foster reflection, knowledge sharing.
  • Our sessions will be recorded and saved on an internal shared drive that can be accessed by community members only.

MANIFESTO

Community of Practice Health Innovation Management

Health innovation management is an emerging and poorly documented discipline.

Therefore the Community of Practice in Health Innovation Management (COPHIM) will work to increase the velocity of knowledge creation and sharing around the discipline of health innovation management by connecting innovation champions and thought leaders across distributed networks to share best practices, challenges, insights and experiences.

Guiding Principles

Our six innovation management principles promote knowledge creation in all stages of innovation activities, from ideation to implementation and diffusion, and outcomes measurement.

1. We strive for #health.
We believe that expanding people’s minds, as well as transforming the way we work and innovate to improve the integration of innovation, consumer insights, technology and evidence-based practices, will contribute to improving healthcare services and creating better outcomes by being more user/consumer-focused.

2. We thrive in the intersections.
We believe that the best models of innovation management emerge from the intersection of diverse sets of people (backgrounds, perspectives, experience) working together regularly. Together, we co-construct knowledge that is foundational to better manage innovation.

3. We have strong perspectives, loosely held.
We encourage the autonomy of community members to challenge and change their own practices and perspectives, in their respective settings.

4. We embrace what is new.
We embrace new ideas, perspectives and approaches from formal and informal sources, including the experiences of our community, consumers, literature, reports, media, etc.

5. We ship what we’ve learned.
We aim to regularly deliver knowledge products (summaries, articles, white papers) in managing innovation to disseminate in our networks.

6. We are better together.
We believe that practitioners from all nations can contribute to the discipline of health innovation management, regardless of their health system structure, worldview, or political leanings.

How we work with each other
and with our colleagues

Icon avion

We collaborate regularly, and we engage actively.

Open

We openly share knowledge, such as know-what, know-how (tools, methodologies, processes) and know-who (network).

Direction

We help each other succeed in our/their innovation endeavors, including by sharing our successes and failures.

Bulles

We strive to create face-to-face conversations and interactions to foster a true community.

Share

We facilitate connections between members, stakeholders and opportunities outside the community of practice.
