“…However, there exists unsuccessful RIs too. For example, the Leveraged Freedom Chair developed by GRIT (Global Research Innovation and Technology, headquartered in Cambridge) did not receive the expected traction in developed markets, though it was successful in emerging markets (Hadengue et al 2017). Similarly, Fiat 147 from Fiat Brazil, was not a success in Europe.…”

Reverse innovation (RI) has emerged as a new growth strategy for MNCs to innovate in emerging markets and then to further exploit the profit potential of such innovations by subsequently introducing them not only in other similar markets but also in developed markets, thereby delivering MNCs a sustainable growth globally. In this study, we propose an overarching conceptual framework to describe factors that contribute to the feasibility of RIs. Using grounded theory with a triangulation approach, we define RI as a multidimensional construct, identify the antecedents of RI, discuss the outcomes, and propose a set of moderating variables contributing to the success of RIs. We also present a set of research propositions with their relative effects on the relationships proposed in the conceptual framework. Additionally, we provide future research directions and discuss theoretical contributions along with managerial implications to realize the strategic goals of RI.

“…Reverse innovation is a broad term, encompassing innovations that have been ideated, trialled, tested, and adopted in low and middle income countries, before being used by healthcare providers in high income countries 234. The term itself has problems, arguably perpetuating the view that innovation normally flows from high to low income settings, thereby undermining the shift in knowledge translation that it seeks to promote 5.…”

The process of reverse innovation, where ideas originating in low resource settings are adopted by higher income countries, challenges the notion of developed countries as the instigators of healthcare transformation. 1 Between 1985 and 2009, the annual growth rate of patent applications in low and middle income countries was 19%, leading them to double their share of global patent applications (from roughly 4% to 8%). 2 As healthcare services increasingly seek to optimise their cost effectiveness, the efficient and scalable solutions used in lower resource environments provide an opportunity for wider learning. Reverse innovation is a broad term, encompassing innovations that have been ideated, trialled, tested, and adopted in low and middle income countries, before being used by healthcare providers in high income countries. 2-4 The term itself has problems, arguably perpetuating the view that innovation normally flows from high to low income settings, thereby undermining the shift in knowledge translation that it seeks to promote. 5 Nevertheless, reverse innovation presents a broad range of opportunities and challenges in healthcare. Several reverse innovations have the potential to provide considerable efficiency benefits and cost savings to the NHS.

“…The advent of early medical abortion 1 (EMA) has further enabled the provision of safe abortion in a simple health facility with few requirements for technology or any surgical skills [17]. Understanding the potential value and challenges of reverse innovation for potential primary care abortion services in the UK is necessary to make strong evidence-based propositions for future policy and legislative changes [18].…”

Background In the UK, according to the 1967 Abortion Act, all abortions must be approved by two doctors, reported to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), and be performed by doctors within licensed premises. Removing abortion from the criminal framework could permit new service delivery models. We explore service delivery models in primary care settings that can improve accessibility without negatively impacting the safety and efficiency of abortion services. Novel service delivery models are common in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) due to resource constraints, and services are sometimes provided by trained, mid-level providers via “task-shifting”. The aim of this study is to explore the quality of early abortion services provided in primary care of LMICs and explore the potential benefits of extending their application to the UK context. Methods We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Global Health, Maternity and Infant Care, CINAHL, and HMIC for studies published from September 1994 to February 2020, with search terms “nurses”, “midwives”, “general physicians”, “early medical/surgical abortion”. We included studies that examined the quality of abortion care in primary care settings of low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs), and excluded studies in countries where abortion is illegal, and those of services provided by independent NGOs. We conducted a thematic analysis and narrative synthesis to identify indicators of quality care at structural, process and outcome levels of the Donabedian model. Results A total of 21 indicators under 8 subthemes were identified to examine the quality of service provision: law and policy, infrastructure, technical competency, information provision, client-provider interactions, ancillary services, complete abortions, client satisfaction. Our analysis suggests that structural, process and outcome indicators follow a mediation pathway of the Donabedian model. This review showed that providing early medical abortion in primary care services is safe and feasible and “task-shifting” to mid-level providers can effectively replace doctors in providing abortion. Conclusion The way services are organised in LMICs, using a task-shifted and decentralised model, results in high quality services that should be considered for adoption in the UK. Collaboration with professional medical bodies and governmental departments is necessary to expand services from secondary to primary care.
