NHS Innovation and Technology Payment NHS England Innovation and Research Unit WebEx Slide Deck June 2017
NHS Innovation and Technology Payment 2018/19 What is it? The Innovation and Technology Payment (ITP) builds on the Innovation and Technology Tariff (ITT) and aims to support the NHS in adopting innovation by removing financial or procurement barriers to uptake of innovative products or technologies. It is a competitive process to identify innovations and technologies that will offer the greatest quality and efficiency benefits with wider adoption. The ITP is looking to support medical devices, digital platforms and technologies. The programme is not suitable for pharmaceutical products or research projects. Applicants can be from any of the following healthcare, academia, and the commercial or voluntary sectors. The implementation of any agreed payment mechanism or procurement will be operational from April 2018.
What are we looking for? Applicants should show that their proposed innovation or technology is cost effective and addresses a clearly identified need or problem. The case must be convincing: the innovation should focus on resolving a particular problem, either by giving a health and wellbeing or quality gain or by delivering the same quality at a lower cost. Applications will need to include robust evidence to demonstrate that their innovation is genuinely high impact, affordable and at the correct level of maturity and relevance for widespread diffusion. Applicants are required to detail the existing evidence that supports wider uptake of their innovation in the NHS and the likely efficiencies that could be realised as a result of this. The ITP will be suitable for innovations which are market ready and have been tested in the NHS, but which could achieve greater scale and use with central support to overcome the barriers to wider adoption. Applicants will therefore need to describe efforts that have been made to widen adoption of their innovation in the NHS and the barriers that they and NHS organisations have encountered.
Selection criteria will focus on the strategic fit of the innovation with NHS England priorities, the contribution to the efficiency challenge, the evidence base for the innovation and the feasibility of implementing change via the ITP. An understanding of current NHS England priorities can be reached by reading the Next Steps on the Five Year Forward View document (available at https://www.england.nhs.uk/publication/next-steps-on-the-nhs-five-year-forwardview/) or the current NHS England business plan (available at https://www.england.nhs.uk/publications/business-plan/). We welcome applications from people working either nationally or internationally in healthcare commissioning and provision, academia, industry and the voluntary sector. The deadline for applications is noon on 8 September 2017. Applicants should read the Call for Applications and Guidance Notes in full before completing an application.
