About this good practice
Health Innovation Platform (HIP) is within with Thematic Area 2: Inside-Out innovation. It aims to boost the developing of new products and services in health sector, promoting the transfer of translational ideas/research results to market. In this line, the HIP is open to collaborative projects with all type of agents: users, associations, business, universities, technological centres, etc. looking for synergies and complementarity. HIP share experiences and learn and spread out good practices. It covers the need of implementing a transversal tool able to foster and manage structural improvements in a systematic way. To replace inefficient processes and guarantee the sustainability of the model by bringing innovation closer to professionals through weaving a network of intra-entrapreneurs able to encourage and implement the change internally. It is organized in 7 innovation nodes in charge of managing those ideas, which are proposed by the professionals (nurses, pharmacists, administrative staff, etc.).
The professionals of the platform and the promoter of the idea work as a team throughout the process to ensure that innovative, strategic and viable ideas are implemented in the Public Health System. Launched in 2010 by the Regional Health Ministry and the Galician Health Service, now ACIS is in charge. The HIP involves relevant Regional Departments such as professionals from the Regional Ministry of Health and the Galician Health Service.
