Risks include potential issues with system immaturity, lack of organization engagement, and information governance concerns.
Jeremy Hunt advocates for "intelligent transparency" in the healthcare system, which involves an open conversation with the public about improving health. Intelligent transparency unleashes self-directed improvement and allows for true devolution of power through transparency of outcomes. It fosters a learning culture where doctors, nurses and managers are empowered to constantly improve care for patients. The goal of intelligent transparency is to engage the public in their health, support informed choice for patients, improve safety and quality of care, and create a more patient-centered system. Several government initiatives aim to achieve intelligent transparency through making quality and performance data publicly available and accessible online via sites like "My NHS."

Some key issues with the traditional model included 45% of patients needing time off work for appointments and only 44% being discharged at their first appointment. The VFC aims to 1) bring treatment to patients' homes to improve experience, 2) ensure management decisions are made by orthopaedic consultants, 3) provide standardized evidence-based treatment, and 4) reduce outpatient appointments. The VFC evaluation found improvements in several areas compared to the traditional model.
The document discusses a trial called TIHM for dementia that will use technology like sensors, apps, and trackers installed in homes to remotely monitor the health and wellbeing of people with dementia. The goal is to improve their quality of life, reduce hospital stays and care home admissions, and lower costs.

This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

Hypertension and it's role of physiotherapy in it.Vishal kr Thakur
This particular slides consist of- what is hypertension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

NHS England’s four objectives for the AHSNs
Focusing on the needs of patients and local populations
Building a culture of partnership and collaboration
Speeding up adoption of innovation into practice to improve clinical outcomes and
patient experience
Creating wealth
Plus the three gaps identified in the NHS Five Year Forward View (health and
wellbeing, care and quality, funding and efficiency)
4. We are catalysts, connectors and collaborators
• AHSNs are catalysts for the spread of innovation at pace and scale - improving
health, generating economic growth and helping facilitate change across whole
health and social care economies
• AHSNs connect - as member organisations we are well placed to mobilise
cross-sector buy-in, developing powerful regional networks of NHS and academic
organisations, local authorities, third sector and industry: responding to diverse
patient and population needs through partnership and collaboration
• AHSNs create the right environment for relevant industries to work with the
health and social care system
5. Our role in generating economic growth in life sciences
and health care
• Spreading innovation
• Improving health
• Generating economic growth
• Advancing health technology

7. Key AHSN impacts since 2013
• 6.3M people have benefited from AHSN activity
• 226 innovations have been adopted via significant AHSN
involvement
• Over £330M in innovation funding has been leveraged by AHSNs
• AHSN-enabled innovations have been implemented in over 11,400
sites
• Over 500 jobs have been created
8. ITT was introduced to incentivise the adoption and spread of transformational
innovation in the NHS. It aims to remove the need for multiple local price
negotiations and guarantee automatic reimbursement when an approved
innovation is used. At the same time the ITT allows NHS England to optimise its
purchasing power and negotiate national “bulk buy” price discounts where
applicable on behalf of the NHS.
2017-18 is the first year of the ITT and a pathfinder year; 6 themes have been
identified which could provide innovation benefits to the NHS at scale.

2 ITT innovations which improve safety in intensive care units:
The PneuX is designed to stop ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), the leading cause of Hospital acquired mortality in Intensive Care Units affecting up to 20,000 patients each year, with a 30% mortality rate costing the NHS £10k - £20k per episode. PneuX is a cuffed ventilation tube and an electronic cuff monitoring and inflation device which prevents leakage of bacterial laden oral and stomach contents to the lung - a problem associated with all standard tubes.
The Non Injectable Arterial Connector (NIC) enables conventional arterial line sampling for all patients in operating theatres and intensive care and it also improves safety by preventing wrong route drug administration. If medication is accidentally given
to a patient via the wrong route, there is risk of damage to a patient’s blood vessel and surrounding tissue and in extreme circumstances surgical amputation.
We support the National Innovation Accelerator along with UCLPartners. 17 Fellows with innovative technologies or practices.
In its first year, the 17 fellows who joined the programme received support to take their high impact innovations to more than 345 NHS providers and commissioners, raised over £17m in funding and won 12 awards. An additional process to procure mobile ECG devices for community use, funded by NHSE, is being led by the Innovation Agency and adoption will be across all 15 AHSNs (375 devices for the NWC region)
We support 3 Fellows – Francis White, Penny Newman and Lloyd Humphries.
Each year, the NIA looks for the best national and international evidence-based healthcare innovators. Another 8 Fellows are currently being recruited – the results of the applications will be announced in November 2016.

Through the Scouts network, 3D Lifeprints was introduced to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital who are now going to commission 3D printing of organs.
This came about after the Scouts were taken on a tour of Alder Hey’s Institute in the Park, and Liverpool Heart and Chest scout Mark Jackson was impressed by the impact of 3D printing. Surgeons at Alder Hey have used 3D prints to plan surgery – reducing the time spent in theatre, which saves time and money; improving outcomes for patients; used to help inform patients and families and explain what will happen.
