Accelerated National Innovation Adoption Pathway (ANIA)
Announced to healthcare professionals in 2022, the Accelerated National Innovation Adoption (ANIA) pathway looks to “assess, prioritise and scale up” impactful and influential innovations as part of the “Once for Scotland” approach. The scheme is being coordinated by NHS Golden Jubilee’s national Centre for Sustainable Delivery (CfSD) and will:
Identify, assess and implement technological innovations on a Once for Scotland basis.
*Use the range of skills available across NHS Scotland to quickly and safely launch innovations nationally, helping more patients to be seen faster.
*Support ANIA partners to contribute their expertise to move high impact innovations along the ANIA pathway at an accelerated pace.
*Enable joint planning with territorial NHS Boards for accelerated adoption and implementation of innovations and associated service change, providing equal access to patients across Scotland.
*Ensure only the highest impact, evidence-based innovations that align to Scottish Government priorities are adopted nationally.
The ANIA pathway is being led by the ANIA Collaborative, which encompasses the national Centre for Sustainable Delivery, Digital Health and Care Scotland, Healthcare Improvement Scotland, NHS Education for Scotland, NHS National Services Scotland, Public Health Scotland and the Scottish Health and Industry Partnership.
