'Quality' Hackathon @ Royal Liverpool & Broadgreen University Hospitals Trust

Hackathons are an innovative way for people from different backgrounds and expertise to form teams, collaborate within a limited time frame, and focus on a specific problem or idea in healthcare to come up with innovative solutions to issues. By bringing together diverse minds, with the common goal of solving healthcare’s biggest challenges, problems can be diagnosed from multiple different perspectives.  The Hackathon will be supported by The Innovation Agency and will bring together a wide range of stakeholders including Patients, Carers, NWAS, CCG’s, representatives from the Voluntary Sector and also colleagues from other Trusts within the region.

As part of Quality, Efficiency & Productivity Programme (QEP) we run an annual week long event which aims to raise awareness of the programme.  The hackathon will form part of QEP week and will focus on the problems staff encounter when trying to deliver quality.
