<p>NHS England has advised that since the publication of <em>One Year On</em> in 2012,
an update on the implementation of the Innovation Health and Wealth (IHW), there has
been a great deal of progress made in many of the IHW work streams. Much of this has
been incorporated into NHS England’s <em>Innovation Into Action: Supporting delivery
of the NHS Five Year Funding View</em>, published in September 2015 and can be found
at:</p><br /><p><a href="https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/nhs-inovation-into-action.pdf"

/><p>Both the Department and NHS England remain committed to driving improvements
in health through developing, testing and spreading innovation across the health system.
Key developments include:</p><br /><p>- The National Institute for Health and Care
Excellence (NICE) Implementation Collaborative has been working with industry, the
National Health Service, NICE and the medical Royal Colleges to provide practical
solutions to overcome barriers to implementation of innovative treatments recommended
by NICE.</p><br /><p>- NHS England have launched Innovation Exchange a key platform
to enhance the development and spread of innovation. Innovation Challenge prizes are
now celebrating the ground breaking innovations developed in the NHS, and delivering
better health outcomes for patients.</p><br /><p>- In 2013 England became the first
country in the world to implement a universal system of Academic Health Science Networks
(AHSNs). These act as system integrators linking all parts of the health landscape,
including every commissioner and provider of health services in their geography, with
industry and academia. Through their work to build a culture of partnership and collaboration,
and to drive adoption of innovation into practice, AHSNs help to improve the health
of their local populations.</p><br /><p>- The Innovation Scorecard tracks uptake of
NICE technology appraisals and helps the NHS to understand where there is variation
in uptake across England. Further work is underway with industry to expand the number
of medicines and devices included on the scorecard and to present data at a more granular
level. Industry data is included in the scorecard where companies have provided it.</p><br
/><p>- The Five Year Forward View builds on this progress. Through its publication
and implementation NHS England and its partners have committed to driving improvements
in health through developing, testing and spreading innovation across the health system.</p><br
