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
