Overview of findings
| Infrastructural challenges | Inflated expectations | Unstable governance, changing objectives and components over time | Multiple stakeholders with conflicting agendas | Evaluation and learning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic information infrastructures (Wi-Fi, EHRs) and data quality are crucial, but often an afterthought | Ambitious, politically driven implementation timelines | Changing ministers and senior managers; re-structuring of change management bodies | Change is technology-driven with limited attention to implications for adopters, system needs and priorities | Limited by a lack of baselines and consequent inability to assess outputs and impacts |
| Lack of forward planning | Programmes launched too quickly and ended too quickly | Tension between adhering to the overall goal and flexibility to respond to changing needs | Ongoing tension: national and local priorities | Evidence that the sharing of learning can accelerate adoption |
| Limited learning between successive programmes |
