exclusion criteria
The Healthcare Innovation Platform excludes:
• Specific drugs, surgical or medical procedures or
practices that need evaluation through Randomized
controlled trials or Systematic Reviews.
• Incomplete Documentation of innovation: For any
innovation to be reviewed the document should
include adequate information on process, human
resource and infrastructure need, capacity building
strategies, cost, challenges and lessons.

evaluation of innovations
Based on i) Strength of evidence; ii) Scale of Coverage;
iii) Impact; and iv) Replicability & Contextual fitness - all
innovations in this compendium have been categorized
as Emerging Innovations OR Established Innovations.
While Emerging Innovations call for larger pilots,
already established innovations are suggestion for
uptake and scale up on priority.
conclusion
Healthcare systems have experienced a
proliferation of innovations aimed at enhancing
life expectancy, quality of life, diagnostic and
treatment options, as well as the efficiency and
cost effectiveness of the healthcare system.
Information technology has played a vital role
in the innovation of healthcare systems. Despite
the surge in innovation, theoretical research on
the art and science of healthcare innovation has
been limited. In order to achieving target goals
of National Health Mission and to make health
more accessible, affordable, safer and equitable;
there is a need to identify, evaluate and scale up
innovations. This compendium of innovations
is collection of best practices in various states
in India and is being shared for the purposes of
dissemination and scale up.
