Innovation
The Innovators Council: call for ideas
The purpose of the Innovators Council is to champion innovation in public services - it will be a forum for people to make suggestions for reform and challenge thinking in public service design and delivery. Have you got ideas about how people delivering public services can work better together? Have you spotted areas of duplication in public services which could be cut out? The Innovators Council is looking for ideas to make public services more efficient by building them around the needs of citizens, cutting out the waste and changing ways of working together. The Council will be meeting for the first time on 24th June and if your idea makes it onto the shortlist you will be invited to come along and take part. If your idea can be explained in a few words, you can let us know on the Public Experience website. If what you are suggesting is more complicated you can send it by e-mail or post it to Room 1.17, Admiralty Arch, Lonson SW1A 2WH.

National Innovation and Improvement Survey – deadline 8th June 2009
The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement has launched the first nationwide Innovation and Improvement survey specifically designed for the NHS. It offers all NHS staff an opportunity to influence the national innovation and improvement agenda and inform the programmes of work that happen at national and regional level in the NHS over the next year. The survey, which is open to all NHS staff, takes about 10 minutes to complete and is live until 8th June. Results will only be analysed at nationwide and SHA level and will not be analysed at the level of an individual NHS organisation or team. All responses will be anonymous and no individual responses will be shared. It will not be possible for anyone to identify respondents as a result of the survey. When the survey is complete, everyone who has completed the survey will have the option to view their results in comparison to the overall responses.
Nurturing good ideas

Events/Calls of Interest
Event: Economic evaluations and economic evidence in healthcare: finding information to inform technology assessments and economic models
7th July 2009, University of York, UK
Health economics information is a key element in much health services research and particularly in health technology assessments. Identifying economic evidence to inform such research can involve searches in a range of databases and using a variety of strategies. This study day will demonstrate some useful resources and present the basics of health economics and economic models.
Event: Health Services & Policy Research Conference 2009
25th-27th November 2009 – Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Australia
This is the Conference of the Health Services Research Association of Australia and New Zealand (HSRAANZ). This year’s theme is ‘Health Services Research – Reforming, Responding, Rewarding’. In Australia, the Health and Hospitals Reform Commission is considering options for restructuring the Australian Health System. And in New Zealand, while there is a sense of reform fatigue, many incremental changes and innovations in health services are continually being introduced. The conference looks at how health service researchers should respond to these current needs for health care and health system reform, and aims to learn from good practice from around the world. The call for abstracts closes on 10th July 2009.

Event: Using practical tools and methods to create an efficient office practice
Begins 12th February 2009 – web-based learning sessions and practical assignments
The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has created a new Web&ACTION to help office practices find and eliminate waste. Participants in the program will learn how to use simple tools and methods centered on Lean principles such as identifying the value stream, design for continuous flow, and removing bottlenecks and waste. The goals of this work include:
- focusing more fully on providing ideal patient-centered, evidence based care
- decreasing cycle times
- increasing efficiency, and patient and staff satisfaction

The National Library for Health Specialist Library for Patient and Public Involvement has created an Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on patient safety. The AEU considers the issue of patient involvement in patient safety, which can be defined as:
- the actions that patients take to reduce the likelihood of medical errors;
- the actions that patients take to mitigate the effects of medical errors when they do occur.
The AEU looks at the ways in which patients can help to improve patient safety, and also at the willingness of patients to perform safety-related behaviours. Click here for more.
