I am working on the Test Beds program within the Strategy Group at NHS England. The Test Beds program involves a collection of seven sites pioneering the use of integrated digital health technologies in their hospital systems, clinics, and pharmacies by working directly with innovators from industry. The program is now in its evaluation phase, and I am responsible for using qualitative and quantitative research methods to consolidate key learnings and analyze the thematic implications of the program. Through my analysis, I am working to understand the bearing of the NHS Test Beds program on health services research, and how we can apply what we've learned from this program to inject digital health innovation in other health systems through a unique industry-system-patient collaborative model.
