Very often those closest to the problem are most equipped to know how to solve it!  Unfortunately, in healthcare, the resources and capabilities have not always been readily available to help scale solutions that can be brought to market for the benefit of all. In this session, hear from industry leading organizations that are addressing the full continuum of provider-based “inside out” innovation. They will share insights in commercialization, development, funding, and collaboration to reach true impact.

The Art of What is Possible: MemorialCare's Innovation Journey

Leveraging Partnerships to Bring Innovation to the Market

Moderator:

Scott Joslyn

SVP & CIO, MemorialCare Health

Panelists:

Kevin Torres

VP Information Technology, MemorialCare Health

Rick Bryant

Healthcare Practice Manager, Veritas Corporation
Former CIO, Texas Children's Hospital

Fred Holston

Sirius Healthcare
Former CTO, Intermountain Healthcare

Innovation is hard, especially in these times of shrinking income and flat staff growth.  Yet most healthcare organizations desire to get closer to their community, customers and patients.  On top of that, how do you keep physicians and nurses satisfied and working efficiently?
 
One option is to weave new developments, existing capabilities, evidence-based care, and technologies together to transform the process of care.  The struggle is most healthcare organizations can't tackle this transformation alone either because of financial or staff constraints, organizational vision or simply the breadth of knowledge required to innovate.  For those that can conquer these challenges, how do these innovations transition back to the organization and/or find a potential market to help others?  
 
This panel will discuss how to leverage investment funding, outside partnerships and internal resources to tackle, the art of the possible.
