What do we mean by innovation? 

Innovation refers to the development and application of new ideas, methods, technologies, or processes aimed at improving the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of healthcare services, which show clear benefits when compared to what was done before.  

Applications to the i-to-i Hub can include: 

  • New technologies such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence, or wearable health devices to improve care quality, decrease the carbon footprint, reduce costs, and streamline operations. 
  • Improved care models such as patient-centred care approaches or integrated care pathways, and coordinated care systems. 
  • Process improvements such as streamlined workflows, enhanced communication, or reduced waste in healthcare delivery to improve the overall efficiency of hospital operations; and leveraging big data and analytics to inform decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and drive evidence-based care. 
  • Unique patient experience enhancements focused on improving patient satisfaction, comfort, and overall wellbeing. 
  • Creative workforce solutions that enhance healthcare worker efficiency and reduce burnout.
