abstract: 'Background: Social innovation has been applied increasingly to achieve
social goals, including improved healthcare delivery, despite a lack of
conceptual clarity and consensus on its definition. Beyond its tangible
artefacts to address societal and structural needs, social innovation
can best be understood as innovation in social relations, in power
dynamics and in governance transformations, and may include
institutional and systems transformations.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted of empirical studies published
in the past 10 years, to identify how social innovation in healthcare
has been applied, the enablers and barriers affecting its operation, and
gaps in the current literature. A number of disciplinary databases were
searched between April and June 2020, including Academic Source
Complete, CIHAHL, Business Source Complete Psych INFO, PubMed and Global
Health. A 10-year publication time frame was selected and articles
limited to English text. Studies for final inclusion was based on a
pre-defined criteria.
Results: Of the 27 studies included in this review, the majority adopted
a case research methodology. Half of these were from authors outside the
health sector working in high-income countries (HIC). Social innovation
was seen to provide creative solutions to address barriers associated
with access and cost of care in both low- and middle-income countries
and HIC settings in a variety of disease focus areas. Compared to
studies in other disciplines, health researchers applied social
innovation mainly from an instrumental and technocratic standpoint to
foster greater patient and beneficiary participation in health
programmes. No empirical evidence was presented on whether this process
leads to empowerment, and social innovation was not presented as
transformative. The studies provided practical insights on how
implementing social innovation in health systems and practice can be
enhanced.
Conclusions: Based on theoretical literature, social innovation has the
potential to mobilise institutional and systems change, yet research in
health has not yet fully explored this dimension. Thus far, social
innovation has been applied to extend population and financial coverage,
principles inherent in universal health coverage and central to SDG 3.8.
However, limitations exist in conceptualising social innovation and
applying its theoretical and multidisciplinary underpinnings in health
research.'
