| Summary: | As extended lifespans, rapid technological evolution and rising public expectations are increasing the complexity of our healthcare systems, health leaders need to innovate to gain sustainable improvements. However, the aspiration of innovation is very different from its actual implementation. Traditionally, health systems prioritise operational efficiency and standardised practices to ensure patient safety. While essential, these priorities can inadvertently limit the flexibility required for innovation. Leaders are therefore challenged to balance these operational needs with the desire to explore new ideas and solutions.
This Management Practice Analysis will summarise insights from the business literature and demonstrate how health leaders can create conditions for innovation, using a leadership case study from current practice.
