At the Child and Adolescent Health Services (CAHS), the frontline experiences of nurses, doctors, and clinicians generate a wealth of innovative ideas aimed at improving public health outcomes. However, despite their potential, many of these ideas remain untapped due to a lack of resource, funding or capability to bring ideas to market.
Recognising this challenge, the CAHS Innovation Team partnered with Anthologie to develop an innovation pipeline. This initiative was designed to identify, test, and scale clinical innovations that hold high potential and demonstrable value for the health system, clinicians, and the broader community.
To facilitate this process, we created an online tool tailored for CAHS nurses and clinicians. This platform guides users through problem definition, idea development, and the development of value propositions and narratives suitable for funding. Ideas can then be assessed and measured against set criteria through the platform. The tool empowers staff by providing structured support to transform their insights into actionable innovations.
