Maldaba 2024 webinar series
Creating sustainable improvement
Maldaba is a UK software development company with over 20 years of experience working on solutions in the public and not-for-profit sectors, with a strong focus on health and social care. We are holding a series of webinars throughout the year examining how to create meaningful long-term improvement. Each of the four one-hour sessions will address different ways of approaching that goal.
Digital as an enabler of quality of service
How to leverage digital tools to deliver enhanced quality of service
The fourth of Maldaba’s 2024 webinar series was held on the 3rd of December.
This session focusses on what we mean by “service quality”, and how digital can enable that delivery. The panel discuss innovation, and where digital fits within that. Finally the panel discuss what’s needed for transformation of service delivery.
Maldaba co-founder Lorenzo Gordon is joined by Professor Glenda Cook from Northumbria University, Dr. James Somauroo from SomX, and Tom Stocker from Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS FT. The session is hosted by Professor Henry Potts from UCL.
Personalised health and social care
The benefits and challenges outside of the one-size-fits-all model of care
The third of Maldaba’s 2024 webinar series was held on the 19th of September
The session focused on the range of interpretations of and approaches to the concept of personalisation, as well as the progress made and how it can practically be applied to health and social care settings. The discussion focused on putting people at the centre of decisions made about their care, and there was a wide range of approaches and perspectives shared throughout the session from the breadth of the panel’s experiences, who represent between them health care, social care, academia and SMEs.
Chaired by Paul Bradley, Chief Clinical Information Officer and Consultant Psychiatrist at Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation Trust, joined by Maldaba co-founder Lorenzo Gordon, Jo Johnson, Assistant Director of Safeguarding and Assurance at North Lincolnshire Council, and Joe Spearing, Research Fellow at the Centre for Health Economics.
Project sustainability webinar
How to implement sustainable projects and avoid ‘pilot-itis’
The second of Maldaba’s 2024 webinar series was held on the 2nd of July.
The session focused on both the positive and negative aspects of pilots, and discussed in detail what is required to run a successful pilot in health and social care. The discussion was centred around people, as the drivers of change and sometimes the key barriers.
The key takeaway is for those in charge of the pilot to focus on the teams and the organisation implementing the innovation, ensuring that people are brought along the journey, and that they are engaged as the drivers of change, a change which they then embed into their day-to-day work. Implementing organisations must resource pilots appropriately, plan for how they would scale in the long-term if successful, and be prepared for them to fail where necessary.
Chaired by William Lilley, Programme Director at South West Health Innovation Network, joined by Maldaba co-founder Lorenzo Gordon, and Jackie Dodwell, Head of Service of the Start for Life Workforce Pilot at Tower Hamlets GP Care Group CIC.
Digital maturity in health and social care webinar
Exploring how organisation-level digital maturity can support health and social care innovations
The first of Maldaba’s 2024 webinar series was held on the 18th of April
The session focussed on digital maturity in health and social care, and the panel discussed a range of topics including governance, culture change, and impact. We have summarised the main points below.
The discussion was centred around governance, culture change and impact. The message is to work on expanding digital maturity by putting people at the centre of your innovation, and identifying champions to drive culture change. For health and social care organisations, digital maturity growth should be informed by a vision of what that change needs to look like. The approach should be to identify the change you want to achieve, work out the pathways to get there and the technology which will help you do so.
Chaired by Daniel Casson from Casson Consulting, with a panel made up of Maldaba co-founder Lorenzo Gordon, Emma Nichols from ECN Consulting, and Ben Williams from Care City.
