The NHS is a crucial partner as both the driver and recipient of new technologies. HIFs working on NHS procurement are examining how key purchasing decisions are made, to assist external organisations looking introduce an innovation to the health sector. The HIFs are building a picture of how the procurement landscape and are examining innovative accounting techniques to create a real-life case study of how these might be used to support the adoption of new technologies by the NHS.
