While technology investments among hospital systems is common, access to a local testing environment — where innovations can be reviewed by end-user clinicians — is not as common. 

The Stanford Innovation Center opened with the goal of fostering innovation where it matters by creating a local space where new innovations are tested before deployment into the real practice setting.

This webinar will explore strategies for creating pop-up and embedded innovation centers in healthcare settings. The discussion will include the benefits of bringing innovation directly to the point of care including increasing clinician engagement, de-risking technology, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing collaboration between healthcare providers, technology teams, and industry partners. See how clinical perspectives are essential and how their access to provide that input informs design and implementation. 
 


 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the advantages and disadvantages of pop-up and embedded innovation centers. 
  • Learn methods for gathering feedback from patients and healthcare providers to identify a technology solution that meets their needs. 
  • Contemplate the concept of de-risking and its significance in healthcare design and innovation.
  • Identify strategies for fostering collaboration between healthcare providers, technology teams, and industry partners to optimize design innovation in healthcare settings.
