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.'
