The Innovation Exchange AHSNs support the regional ‘import and export’ of healthcare innovation through our Innovation Exchange. Four structured elements: 1. 2. 3. 4. needs definition innovator support and signposting real world validation spread and adoption of supported innovations

Why ‘complexity’? Many promising technological innovations in health and social care characterized by non-adoption or abandonment by individuals or by failed attempts to scale up locally, spread distantly, or sustain the innovation long term at the organization or system level. (Greenhalgh et al. Beyond adoption: (2017))
