| What is the anticipated function of the State Innovation Hub? | to serve as a think tank and hub of knowledge for taking the State/UT health scenario towards achieving Universal Health Coverage | These guidelines are intended to serve as a framework for guiding the States in establishing and streamlining innovation ecosystem at State and District level. The guidelines provide an overview of the structure and roadmap to establish and institutionalize State Innovation Hub with flexibility given to States/UTs to adapt and implement as per their local context. State Innovation Hub as a unit would be housed within SHSRCs, where functional, and is expected to serve as a think tank and hub of knowledge for taking the State/UT health scenario towards achieving Universal Health Coverage. For this, the unit will analyze every NHM programme data of their State/UT and come up with subjects of concern district-wise or for the State/UT so that new innovative approaches may be proposed. | 463 | definition | 1.000 | State Innovation Hub as a unit would be housed within SHSRCs, where functional, and is expected to serve as a think tank and hub of knowledge for taking the State/UT health scenario towards achieving Universal Health Coverage. | 11 | page=11,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What is the main activity conducted by the State Innovation Hub? | Review and Approval of Innovative Solutions | Program Division of District NHM staff to be oriented on how to look for innovation in every programme or on the basis of community need assessment, why and how to analyse every NHM programme data of their State/UT and come up with subjects of concern district wise or for the State/UT so that new approaches may be proposed to deal with it, and above all, how to draft innovative proposals. It is recommended that the innovations are aligned with the problem statement or the health needs of the State/UT and respective districts. 2.

Seed grants: Testing proof of Concept funds Funds under this mechanism will be available to support introduction and validation of prototypes under proposed innovation to the particular ‘problem statement’ identified in the proposal for innovation (i.e. Testing proof of concept). B. Transition to scale grants: Funds made available through this stream will be provided to further refine and rigorously test the impact of accepted solutions that demonstrated success during proof-of-concept stages and hold potential to achieve the desired health goal in setting at a bigger scale, i.e., in project mode or program settings (scaling up of successful proof of concept).

| What is needed to address gaps in the quality and equity of health services? | new ways of thinking and working to “reach the unreached”. | This chapter describes the guidelines, processes and support required for convening a Innovation Summit at the State level with financial support and guidance of State’s/UT’s NHM. While there has been tremendous progress and numerous successes to further the goals set by States/UTs, but visible or evident gaps still persist. Closing these gaps (in provision of health services, both in quality and equity) requires new ways of thinking and working to “reach the unreached”. The desire for trying out innovative solutions is also amply visible in the state health systems and one mechanism to seek innovative solutions has been the convening of ‘Best Practices Summit’. | 417 | definition | 1.000 | Closing these gaps (in provision of health services, both in quality and equity) requires new ways of thinking and working to “reach the unreached”.

| What is the innovation workshop described as? | a carefully designed and facilitated participatory event | This would also be a common platform for districts to share their experiences, concerns and learnings in order to plan strategically to enable need based innovation process for respective focus areas. The innovation workshop is a carefully designed and facilitated participatory event. The workshop consists of five key steps. | 228 | definition | 0.980 | The innovation workshop is a carefully designed and facilitated participatory event. | 22 | page=22,block=11 | 0.850 | valid |
| What does the absence of platforms for sharing ideas by State/UT NHMs reflect? | the need for training and capacity building and adapting a systemic approach towards innovation | The present lack of the same by State/UT NHMs also reflects the need for training and capacity building and adapting a systemic approach towards innovation. As districts implement program, they often face challenges in implementation and, at the same time, do come up with innovative ideas to tackle them. they are constrained by lack of platforms to share these ideas, access to resources to invest in these ideas, absence of collaborations and guidance to grow and nurture these ideas and truly know if these ideas overcome the challenges in public health settings. Thus missing the opportunity to take what may be the most suitable solution to an intractable problem, to scale and benefit the masses. 2.

| What is the function of State Innovation Hub Committees in the NHM? | to institutionalize innovations in NHM, on aspects like process of developing as well as evaluation and scrutinizing of innovation proposals | Innovation Capacity Building Workshops/Orientations: To initiate the process State/UT will have to organize Innovation capacity building workshops at the State and Districts. The orientation and capacity building of State Innovation Hub Committees is also important to institutionalize innovations in NHM, on aspects like process of developing as well as evaluation and scrutinizing of innovation proposals.

| Which governmental strategy do the efforts of State Innovation Hubs support? | MoHFW’s approach towards attaining Universal Health Coverage | With this institutionalized mechanism of establishing State Innovation Hubs, we expect a formalized platform which would encourage the districts to come up with more specific and relevant solutions to the challenges, thus creating a more context specific cross learning platform. This would align their efforts with MoHFW’s approach towards attaining Universal Health Coverage and achieve the targeted goals of National Health Policy 2017 in a timely manner. 2 Maj Ge Atul Kotwal NIHFW Campus, Baba Gang Nath Marg, Munirka, New Delhi 110067 | 316 | relationship | 0.970 | This would align their efforts with MoHFW’s approach towards attaining Universal Health Coverage and achieve the targeted goals of National Health Policy 2017 in a timely manner. | 7 | page=7,ocr=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What approach is suggested for achieving universal access to equitable, affordable, and quality health care services? | Initiating good practices and innovations | Innovation is critical to strengthening the public health system. It is to be recognized that some innovations are context specific and some lend themselves to spontaneous diffusion but some need a systematic approach in scaling up. This requires active disseminations and support to create the conditions for scaling up. Initiating good practices and innovations is stated as a strategic path that can be adopted by the States/UT to achieve the goal of universal access to equitable, affordable & quality health care services that are accountable and responsive to people’s needs. National Health Policy, adopted by the Government of India in the year 2017, laid down the broad principles of professionalism, integrity, and ethics; equity; affordability; universality; patient centred care; accountability; pluralism; inclusive partnerships and decentralization. | 322 | summary | 0.970 | This requires active disseminations and support to create the conditions for scaling up.
