NHS innovation diffusion - from Deleuze & Guattari to Digital Movements
1. The NHS and innovation diffusion – from Deleuze & Guattari to Digital Movements @danmcquillan
2. ...the NHS is a striated space , marked by linear boundaries, restricted to a particular plane of activity in the space of all possible potentials. As Deleuze & Guattari would say...
3. consumerism as a driver of innovation has run out of steam the internal market introduced splits and boundaries without adding passion
4. porosity - the boundaries of traditional organizations are being blurred a 'social organisation' attracts support from outside & motivation from within
5. Haiti Crisis Camps ... ...tackling system gaps with a movement of crowdsourcing and self-organised geekery
6. catalysing community participation needs active intervention I propose mashups of easy-to-adapt tech platforms with participatory techniques Africa's largest slum is not on the map - http://mapkibera.org
7. Big Society rhetoric talks about participation But the reality of cuts will be incompatible with the social narrative of the NHS This could lead to the developments of social movements around healthcare
8. a movement is loosely coupled, agile, open, with a tendency for new ideas to spread rapidly social movements have characteristics of the 'smooth spaces' that can diffuse innovation they have energy, are often highly digital, and don't respect the health / social care divide
9. the quickest way to add smooth spaces to striated ones is through digital Social Innovation Camp - programmers and social innovators hack web-based solutions to social problems in 48 hours nomadism: mobile health, from FrontlineSMS to Android apps based on open health data
10. * digital empowerment across the system *a health-needs version of Map Kiberi alongside every GP consortium * engage with positive social movements, especially digitally * use digital innovation to support initiatives like the Dignity in Care network * run healthcare & social care crisis camps
