Filter by:This research sets to address two key areas. The first is identified by the researcher in academic literature that there is a lack of a comprehensive innovation adoption model in UK National Health System (NHS), specifically for Medical Robotic Surgery. Existing frameworks are mainly developed in the US or in other fields. The second problem was identified by surgeons involved in Robotic Surgery in Royal Bournemouth Hospital (RBH). The project started by offering RBH a deeper understanding of the innovation adoption process, issues and development of an adapted innovation model, however after our initial meeting with the Surgical Director and his team, it was clear that one the main areas RBH was keen for us to investigate, was the communication pathway of all stakeholders involved in robotic surgery adoption. They were concerned that key staff dealing with patients undergoing medical robotic surgery were uninformed about the technology and process which can impact patients' experience and staff communication. The research will develop a comprehensive innovation adoption model for robotic surgery (and similar medical innovation) in NHS. Currently there are no models adapted to NHS UK structure and requirements. This model will assist the NHS to understand and evaluate any innovation adoption process within the NHS and to avoid future innovation adoption failure. The case example will Identify the communication pathway and key stakeholders in RBH for the process of Gastrointestinal Robotic Surgery, evaluation of stakeholders' knowledge and needs and further proposing ways to improve adoption and increase knowledge. NHS can use the proposed communication pathway to identify stakeholders that need to be informed, trained and communicated to, in any innovation adoption process within NHS.
This qualitative study uses focus group methodology and purposive sampling with the aim of obtaining views of Care Home Support Service staff and other stakeholders about their experiences of a redesigned National Health Service (NHS) Care Home Support Service. Individual stakeholder focus groups will be conducted with General Practitioners (GP), care home staff, relatives of residents in care homes, service-user representatives (Total N=32, across 4 focus groups). This study forms part of a larger evaluation of the CHSS service; service improvement workshops will be conducted with Oxford Health NHS Care Home Support Service, Community Nursing and Community Mental Health staff that are working in the 102 participating homes. Each participant who consents will take part in a focus group to explore their experiences of a redesigned NHS care home support service. Participants will be involved in the study for up to six months from gaining informed consent until last contact with the research team when a summary of the research will be sent. The data will be analysed using thematic analysis and applied with the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework.
