Here are seven pieces of wisdom and advice about the role of innovation in healthcare that executives from hospitals and health systems across the country shared with Becker's Hospital Review in August:
Sylvia Romm, MD, chief innovation officer, Atlantic Health System (Morristown, N.J.): "Often, the best ideas don't come from one institution; they are created when dedicated people from two or more institutions decide to work together to solve tough problems. In healthcare, where problems are extremely complex and people's lives are at stake, much of the innovation I have seen comes from ideas that have already been tested in one environment, but are then used in a new way or with new partners — that's where you can see real leaps forward, tackling new challenges and solving problems."
