Description
This segment presents a structured discussion led by Chris Moran and Peter Scolding about the evaluation process for ideas aimed at healthcare changes. Chris outlines the necessity to prioritize submissions due to resource limitations and introduces Peter, who elaborates on the meticulous process of vetting each idea.
Peter discusses a tool named the 'Framework for the Evaluation of healthCare CHanges,' which helps in evaluating submissions based on predefined themes. He explains that each idea goes through thematic analysis, where it receives thematic tags and a 'horizon score' indicating readiness for implementation, from immediate changes to those requiring significant transformation. The process includes a filtration stage, assessing ideas on potential impact and feasibility through a scorecard that analyzes factors like alignment with strategic plans, scalability, and sustainability.
The goals are achieving the highest potential impact on patient outcomes, experiences, and population health while considering financial benefits. By the end of this rigorous process, all submitted ideas—totaling 180—are categorized by themes and scores. This allows for organized prioritization, ensuring focus on ideas that promise the most substantial improvements in healthcare delivery.
