The trick:The trick:• The applicant should be able to realize the main part of the labour

saving potential, service and production improvements etc. • The solution is innovative and general; it can be copied or shared• The solution is innovative and general; it can be copied or shared

• We monitor the projects focusing on realization of labour saving potential and service improvement potential and service improvement.

• When a project has proved a positive business case/benefit realization, the initiative can be implemented nationally.

Why don’t they just do it?

Barriers to innovation among care providers:

• Focus is service and care production, not innovation • Scarce economy, scarce resources, scarce competences• Limited capacity and incentive to fund projects and take risk• Limited capacity and incentive to fund projects and take risk

Still a fruitful ground:

• Care providers have concrete experience and a need for new solutions• …and potential to generate ideas and make them workp g

Innovation must be nursed and focused on practical implementation and benefit realisation

Looking for intelligent solutions• Policy: Clear business case - start with the problem – not the

(ICT)-solution

• Service innovation: Can ICT change the way we provide services today?

• E.g. Should we maximize hospital services or focus on prevention of diseases? g p p

• Products: Should we develop specialized high end innovative products or basic large scale solutions?

• People: Should we provide what people want or what we think they need?
