Scale, Spread & Sustainability Scale-up: “Overcoming The structural issues that arise during spread”
Spread: “deliberate efforts to increase the impact of innovations successfully
tested in pilot or experimental projects so as to benefit more people
and to foster policy and program development on a lasting basis”
Diffusion: "the process in which an innovation is communicated through
certain channels over time among the members of a
social system”

We want to make a significant contribution
to transforming catheter-care nationally
Our scale and spread goals, based on outcomes achieved in 5 south London trusts to date is by 2019, we want to:
SCALE:
Reduce the rate of CAUTI amongst patients in hospital by 30% and improve catheter practice in 5 NHS trusts
SPREAD:
Develop an improvement campaign, resources and an active community that escalates spread of the programme to a national level
@HINSouthLondon www.hin-southlondon.org
Our ambition is to make it Easy, Attractive,
Social and Timely (EAST framework)
A digital social network to enable peer engagement
nationally
Sustainable online area of tailorable resources and tools
A ramping up of communications to include awareness raising amongst health professionals and social movement aimed at patients and carers

The interventions will be tested and refined
to ensure they are ready for spread
We will be applying the latest insights from behavioural science to fully understand, and subsequently adapt, the process of implementing these interventions and their tools prior to spread.
