Research Interests
Jane is currently involved in a number of national and international policy related projects. Jane’s research focuses on organisational change and transformational policy innovations in health care. Jane is joint principal investigator on the Department of Health ‘Whole System Demonstrators’ programme. This ministerial led evaluation is a government initiative to introduce technology based health and social care services to help support people with chronic conditions. Jane and her colleagues were awarded £500,000 to investigate organisational factors underlying the successful and sustainable introduction of these new services. Jane is the primary organisational investigator of the North West London Collaboration and Leadership in Applied Research and Care (CLAHRC) leading a team of researchers investigating this new NHS policy initiative. She is also involved in international comparative work that investigates transformational transition planning in the US, Canada and UK.
Research Collaborations
Jane works with a large team of colleagues at Imperial College Business School, as well as research teams in PIRU, HACIRIC and Kings College School of Nursing.

Abstract
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: It is expected that increased demands on services will result from expanding numbers of older people with long-term conditions and social care needs. There is significant interest in the potential for technology to reduce utilisation of health services in these patient populations, including telecare (the remote, automatic and passive monitoring of changes in an individual's condition or lifestyle) and telehealth (the remote exchange of data between a patient and health care professional). The potential of telehealth and telecare technology to improve care and reduce costs is limited by a lack of rigorous evidence of actual impact. METHODS: We are conducting a large scale, multi-site study of the implementation, impact and acceptability of these new technologies. A major part of the evaluation is a cluster-randomised controlled trial of telehealth and telecare versus usual care in patients with long-term conditions or social care needs. The trial involves a number of outcomes, including health care utilisation and quality of life. We describe the broad evaluation and the methods of the cluster randomised trial DISCUSSION: If telehealth and telecare technology proves effective, it will provide additional options for health services worldwide to deliver care for populations with high levels of need.

Abstract
Objectives To describe the context for implementing the national programme for information technology (NPfIT) in England, actual and perceived barriers, and opportunities to facilitate implementation. Design Case studies and in depth interviews, with themes identified using a framework developed from grounded theory. Setting Four acute NHS trusts in England. Participants Senior trust managers and clinicians, including chief executives, directors of information technology, medical directors, and directors of nursing. Results The trusts varied in their circumstances, which may affect their ability to implement the NPfIT. The process of implementation has been suboptimal, leading to reports of low morale by the NHS staff responsible for implementation. The overall timetable is unrealistic, and trusts are uncertain about their implementation schedules. Short term benefits alone are unlikely to persuade NHS staff to adopt the national programme enthusiastically, and some may experience a loss of electronic functionality in the short term. Conclusions: The sociocultural challenges to implementing the NPfIT are as daunting as the technical and logistical ones. Senior NHS staff feel these have been neglected. We recommend that national programme managers prioritise strategies to improve communication with, and to gain the cooperation of, front line staff
