INTRODUCTION
Innovation in healthcare includes implementation of new health care policies, products,
technologies etc. The purpose of innovation in health care institution is to assist an individual in
improving their health. An entrepreneur is a person who own as well as manages various
activities in health care organization. They facilitate continuous innovation for bringing the
improvement in quality of services. Innovation is considered to be as a key success factor which
has drives the companies towards the success.
The report have focus on identifying the characteristics of new technology such as DRX
revolution nano mobile x-ray system which is presently utilized by NHS. It also emphasizes on
analyzing the effect of government policies on Nhs decision related to implementation of
specific technology at workplace.
Q1 Discuss and evaluate characteristics of DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System as an
innovation
This is to discourse upon the use of DRX- Revolution Nano Mobile X- ray system that
has totally changed the views of healthcare industry to a great extent. It is with a special consent
of thinking about such portable mobile imaging with is a fully integrated digital and budget
friendly mobile system which is undoubtedly designed to deliver a valuable performance to its
users. It is basically a new portable system for X-ray that uses the technology of carbon Nano
tube technology (Carestream’s New Carbon Nano Tube Portable X-ray System Available for
Order, 2018). This in turn results in a reduced weight as well as size of X-ray system in
comparison to the traditional devices. It is therefore easy to carry at places where critical patients
are admitted like in the ICU and NICU, etc. Also, its affordability permits the care providers to
use such a portable device to the busy critical areas, as mentioned above. DRX- revolution Nano
Mobile X-ray system depicts a non- motorized, light weight system which is easy to position for
imaging patient’s body parts.
Its design has mainly complemented its feature of easily capturing the inpatient,
outpatient and ER exams at services of all dimensions. This new system consists of a fully
integrated digital workflow with a technology of carbon Nano tube and a battery composed of
progressive lithium iron phosphate which in turn depicts a lengthier life. It also has a sleek
design with improved visibility, all over the system. Its compact footprint and a minimal weight

of 220 pounds makes it easier to carry and position at tight places (CARESTREAM DRX-
Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System, 2018). On evaluating its creation in terms of innovation,
it has been found to be a very useful product in terms of being compatible, scalable as well as
flexible to meet the changing demands of health and social care industry. It is with a special
reference to the use of white paper in it that in turn reflected a useful enclosure of Carbon Nano
Tube (CNT) technology that largely differs from the traditional tubes made up of thermionic
substance. Mainly, its CNT emitter has assisted in a vertical arrangement on a conductive
substrate which replaced the conventional string.
2. Evaluating entrepreneurship in context of delivering DRX revolution Nano mobile X ray
System
Intrapreneur is considered to be a transactional leader. They spend lot of time in facilitating
innovation as well as creativity. Function of intrapreneur is to conduct research activity and helps
firm in developing the ideas for bringing the improvement in services, policies , products etc.
They are the people those who requires supports for developing new products or system.
Intrapreneur can be recognized by their sense of ownership, broader functioning of a group etc.
The purpose of these people is to bring positive as well as drastic improvement in procedure,
infrastructure etc. Intrapreneur are highly motivated. At initial stage intrapreneur in Nhs will
gain knowledge about DRX revolution Nano mobile X ray System . After developing the
understanding about the specific system and its benefits, they will conduct analysis of problem
faced by NHS, during the examination they will also have focus on determining the usefulness as
well as result of implementing specific system at workplace. At this stage, Intrapreneur can also
utilize various techniques and tools such as brainstorming, mind maps, which assists them in
development of ideas. After the completion of the procedure they will implement their
innovative ideas in an enterprise (Glasby, J., 2017). In context of given case study, the problem
identified is related to the lifting heavy patients, and placing heavy imaging receptors such as
detectors and grids behind patients multiple times regularly. This issue has been dressed by the
entrepreneur which can be resolved by employing the DRX revolution Nano mobile X ray
System within Nhs (Schön, D.A., 2017.). Cost benefit analysis is also executed by employees in
Nhsa for determining the expenditure associated with installation as well as management of this
system. As on the basis of cost benefit analysis will help management in making decision related
to the implementation DRX revolution Nano mobile X ray System. In addition to this, the

various evaluation are made by intrapreneurs in order inform procurement decision.
3 Identifying the different government policy initiative which can have effect on Nhs trust
decision related to employment of DRX revolution Nano mobile X ray System
The various policies or laws implemented by the government in the nation have direct as
well as significant effect on the decision of health care organization related to employment of
specific technology or system at workplace (Hurley and Linsley, 2018).
There are various laws such as The health information technology act 2012 provides
HHS with the authority to establish programs to improve health care quality, safety, and
efficiency through the promotion of health IT, including electronic health records as well as
private and secure electronic health information exchange. In addition to this,
CONCLUSION
It has been concluded from the report that innovation is the key factor which has assisted
organization in bringing improvement in quality of services. Study has also concluded that
Intrapreneurship is a person in health and social care organization who investment time in
research and development. They are the people who facilitates innovation at workplace. It has
been concluded from the assignment that there are different government policy such as Health
information technology has great as well as significant influence on an organization related to
employment of specific technology or system at workplace.
Sec 4001 in Heath and safety act has been enforced by the government in the nation for
supporting medical professionals in bringing improvement in quality of care. This act also states
that it is important for health care organization to get the certification from the legal authority
before implementing any specific technology or system within health care organisation.
