Key messages from Andrew Kenworthy for the day
- At present there is significant clinical variation in services being received by patients. This, in many cases is poor quality and is, in the changed financial environment, unaffordable.
- All Health organizations must embrace the innovation agenda – not only to improve quality but to remain viable.
- Quality is the overarching principle which must drive the innovation agenda.
- Change has to be informed by the real experience of patients and their carers ands respond to their needs.
- Organizations must focus upon how to accelerate the time from ideas to delivery on the ground – our implementation processes must be more rigorous.
- Change must be owned and driven at the most senior level in the organizations.
