Network maturity matrix tools were published in November 2021 for both imaging and pathology networks. The tool identifies seven domains that characterise a network formation and as networks develop through implementation, a description of indicative deliverables is offered in each matrix for the domain.
As such the matrix will:
- Provide networks a benchmarking and self-assessment tool to assess their current position
- Highlight key areas and topics for consideration at each stage of network development
- Support decision making within the network
Stages of Maturity
The maturity levels have 5 stages: pre emerging, emerging, developing, maturing and thriving. All networks are expected to reach thriving status by 2024. The GM Pathology Network is currently scored as a ‘emerging’ network as of July 2021.
