Scottsdale Institute

Thank you to Kali Arduini Ihde and her team Northwestern Medicine for hosting SI’s Innovation Summit, and to our friends Deloitte who sponsored this event. A few key takeaways are below: - Innovation teams are small, but mighty! They leverage their expertise in assessment, process improvement and analysis to develop deep partnerships with innovative companies that are fundamentally transforming how their hospital systems work. - Communication is not only a means to share successes, but to drive recruitment and retention of top clinical talent. Setting a media strategy that demonstrates results from innovative work inspires more innovation and engagement throughout the system. - Health-system based centers of innovation are uniquely capable of generating high impact investment opportunities given their access to top clinical expertise and talent. Nowhere else can investors or philanthropists fund opportunities to transform healthcare driven by leading hospital systems with the capability to implement and iterate pilot projects designed to deliver ROI.   A special thanks to all of our Members who braved the travel challenges to be with us in Chicago! The insights and discussions during the Site Visit and Summit were 🔥

The health system CEO mindset is changing to meet the unique stresses and opportunities for healthcare organizations today…and partnerships and perseverance are key components. Read how CEOs from Emory Healthcare, Intermountain Health, Loma Linda University Health (Calif.) University Hospitals and Rush Health—SI Members all—are viewing technology as a core business partnership. "Perseverance is probably one of the single most important things in order to be able to continue to try and push ahead rather than just accept things as they may be." – Trevor Wright, CEO, Loma Linda University Health              https://lnkd.in/gPpJu_a8

Last year, just weeks into his role as president and CEO of AtlantiCare, Michael Charlton experienced firsthand the challenges of on-call staff. Ultimately, this led him to spend nights in the emergency department to better understand and support his team, thus emphasizing the importance of leadership presence and engagement around the clock.   "All of that came from that feedback [from team members]. It wasn't all positive feedback. There was a lot of negative feedback, a lot of concerns that came out of nursing, physicians, techs. Because at the end of the day, when they're challenged and there's nobody there supporting them, after a while that gets old. But it led us to a good place." – Michael Charlton   Read why the CEO from SI Member AtlantiCare is working the night shift: https://lnkd.in/g7eevANJ

  Weill Cornell Medicine’s recent article about home health aides’ work and subsequent impact on mental health raises a key conundrum: As Health Equity efforts gain traction in our communities, these critically important care providers need care as well.

Generative AI in Healthcare: Northwestern Medicine Aims for Global Rollout of AI Radiology “One of our more exciting projects right now is a multimodal generative AI model that can look at an X-ray image and generate a report. We have this model live in our hospital system,” said Kris Kristinsdóttir, Machine Learning Engineer Associate, Northwestern Medicine. “We have 50 radiologists using it since this summer, and we’re seeing some incredible performance improvements. The radiologists are 40% more efficient and they’re giving us feedback like, ‘Now, we get to spend more time doing what we actually love to do.'” See full story here: https://lnkd.in/eK3a2tMA SI is excited to learn more about what NW Medicine is doing at our Innovation Summit, scheduled at NW’s Prentice Women’s Hospital in Chicago on July 22-23, with special site visits to their automation, robotics and innovation labs.
