Healthcare is facing no shortage of challenges.

But while billions are poured into R&D every year, the impact on patient lives is often underwhelming.

There’s a serious need for not just new ideas, but better management of them in healthcare systems.

Here are the reasons why and areas where we need a new approach to healthcare.

The implementation of new technologies.

• Improvements are most often driven by new technologies

• Need a reliant, steady flow of new and actionable tech ideas

• Formalize discovery, reviews, and implementation of those ideas

Caring for an aging population.

• Boomers transitioning into a new set of health needs

• Healthcare providers will need to follow suite

• Need new ideas for services, staff adjustments, and facilities updates

Attracting a booming younger population.

• Millenials are seen as a wildcard in society and healthcare

• Healthcare systems are trying hard to figure them out

• Need ideas for attracting them to healthcare services as both patients

and employees

Providing faster service and care.

• People are busy and want fast service

• Also want a convenient way to track and schedule care

• Systems need to find a way to require less time for care

Improving system-wide communication.

• Inefficiencies in relaying information

• With patient lives on the line, important for healthcare providers to

find new ways to communicate effectively

• Focus on both day-to-day operations and ensuring new ideas can be

heard and acted upon.

Adjusting to changes in regulations.

• Regulations within healthcare are always a hot-button issue

• Many changes carrying legal ramifications

• Need to find new ways to adjust operations and offerings to align with

regulations

Saving patient lives.

• Medical errors are a serious problem

• More intuitive patient processing to deeper education and training

• Need to aim to find new ways to reduce hazardous, deadly, and

preventable errors

Improving overall satisfaction.

• Everyone wants the best for their loved-ones

• Improving satisfaction and comfort for not just patients, but their

families, friends, and care-takers

• Improving public perception and willingness to interact with a

healthcare organization

If there’s any industry that needs better idea management, its healthcare.

From identifying problems to collaborating on solutions, the pursuit of innovation in healthcare needs input from those tasked with providing care to patients and their families.

Look to the front-lines of healthcare. Nurses, doctors, and care-givers have the unique insights needed to find

those actionable solutions.
