  NIC Innovation DevelopmentModelReactive Approach: An ‘always open’ door for innovators to share their ideas with the NHS and receive guidance and other support.Proactive Approach: An ‘always open’ door for frontline NHS staff and patients to articulate perceived needs, and for innovators to compete and win contracts to create solutions.

  NIC ProgrammesNeedsIn conjunctionwith The Technology Strategy Board and Knowledge Transfer Networks, NIC has developed a Statement of Clinical Needs online tool which provides a forum for clinicians to express what they need.Benefits:The information helps industry understand the clinical needs of the NHS, and what innovations they can either mobilise or develop to meet these needs.Creates an alignment with clinical demand and focussed industry supply.Stakeholders benefit from knowing what frontline clinicians are saying needs to be addressed. Next Steps:Partnership programme with NHS Networks. NHS Networks has rich, varied and vibrant networks that could be a valuable source of identifying genuine and real time frontline needs and subsequently provide a forum for the NHS community to share knowledge and ideas to meet these needs and prepare channels for diffusion.Facilitating a joint needs and innovation development programme with all AHSCs.

  NIC ProgrammesSolutionsNIC hasdeveloped a portfolio of pre-commercial procurement tools to speed the development of innovative solutions. TheScorecard is essentially the ‘first interview’ with an innovator from an IP, need, benefits perspective and explores what assistance the innovator needs to deliver the idea. The Competition Tool is an easy-to-use resource to commission the development of solutions.Benefits:Open, fair and transparent processes that speed development of innovations.Next Steps:Continue to support NHS Supply Chain, Technology Strategy Board.Continue to work with The Department for Business to roll out tools across Government.

  NIC ProgrammesInnovation KnowledgeExploitationThe Innovation Showcase forms part of NIC’s Linked Data Initiative andis an online tool that showcases innovations and provides a brief of what the innovation is, a video clip of what it does, details of where you can buy it and, most importantly, evidence in terms of cost savings and patient benefits. Benefits:Linked Data, expressed via compelling visualisations, has the potential to improve decision-making for commissioners, clinicians, scientists and industry.

  The Showcase maps,on a Google Map, where the innovation is being used. The intention of this is to stimulate uptake by profiling leadership and nudging slow adopters to realise the economic and patient benefits of adopting innovation. Next Steps:Collaboration is under way with NHS Networks, NHS Information Centre, NHS Choices, NHS Scientists, DH Horizon Scanning.Screen Shots: Showcase
