The Innovation Scoring and Impact Guide for Healthcare Technologies (INSIGHT) Calculator is a tool that was inspired by the described Heat Map. The rapid deployment of digital solutions to support clinical care lacks formal, structured assessment tools.  This calculator helps healthcare organizations quantify the potential impact of new technologies. It assesses various factors such as cost, benefits, and feasibility to provide a clear picture of the innovation's value proposition. This tool is rooted in nursing practices of objective assessment criteria backed by proven evidence.  INSIGHT enables health care professionals to objectively evaluate new technologies against validated industry criteria while also considering the unique capabilities and constraints of their organization. INSIGHT serves as a practical aid for navigating the complex process of assessing and advocating for innovation in health care settings.
