    Abstract:

    This chapter explores the emergence of Redistributed Manufacturing (RDM) as a disruptive system that can help address wicked or complex problems in healthcare, which cannot easily be solved by individual disciplines alone. RDM is presented as a new field of practice, whereby a transdisciplinary innovation lens is pivotal for understanding the complexity of the phenomenon and pathways to adoption. This chapter provides the theoretical basis for four critical research propositions to guide future research that robustly considers healthcare system readiness and the evidence base for where to best deploy RDM.
