AB  - 04GDHIEXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis research is part of the ongoing study of GDHI. The diffusion or spread of innova-tions over time through a specific population or social system is important to unlock the potential benefits of an innovation. There has been much study of how to encour-age the uptake of innovations so that they become part of everyday practice and ben-efit many, rather than a few. In this research, we explore this from the demand side. We explore how FHWs and leaders find solutions to their everyday challenges, and which sources are the most influential. We consider how these groups are sourcing solutions  to  their  problems  in  six  countries  and  how  healthcare  organizations  can  source  innovations  more  effectively  to  meet  the  needs  of  FHWs  and  leaders.  The  study also explores the role that ‘curator organizations’ – a specialized set of organ-izations  that  source  innovations  from  around  the  world  –  are  playing  in  helping  to  diffuse innovations into clinical practice. We consider what role these organizations could play in future to ensure that they are relevant to frontline needs. The study builds on previous findings from 2013 GDHI research that showed how cer-tain system characteristics, enablers and frontline behaviors are critical to diffusion.1It follows on from the 2015 GDHI study that assessed the importance and prevalence of  these  elements  in  eight  case  studies  of  rapid,  successfully  scaled  innovations.2This year, our study focuses on how FHWs and organization leaders source innova-tion in the first place. Our  research  draws  on  quantitative  surveys  of  more  than  1,350  FHWs  in  major  urban centers of six countries (England, the United States (US), Qatar, Brazil, India and  Tanzania).  We  conducted  more  than  90  personal  interviews  with  healthcare  leaders  in  these  locations  and  in-depth  conversations  with  the  managers  of  10  curator organizations.
