When considering a new innovation opportunity and throughout its development, we
focus on three essential components to build a solution. The first, build to show value, focuses on identifying the right problems to solve and bringing together the right people to solve those problems. The second, build to integrate, applies a framework to overcome inertia hurdles and show impact to drive long-term adoption. The third, build to scale, underscores the importance of prioritizing iterative improvements in process, technology, and knowledge sharing to expedite transformative innovation.
With these components in mind, we maintain a “living lab” of innovation implementations across the care continuum. We have implemented numerous solutions in the inpatient setting as well as during and after the transition to outpatient care. Moreover, as we see the shifts in care setting and evolving patient and provider needs, we have detailed experience and prioritize implementation in the healthcare communities we serve.
