Henry Ford Health System’s Henry Ford Innovation Institute is developing innovations within the healthcare system in addition to being receptive to outside ideas, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
The Detroit institute is being called “an innovator’s playground,” with all the resources needed to develop new healthcare ideas, including 3-D printers for rapid prototyping and the services of two full-time medical designers, the article said.
“It’s not just inventions, it’s actually the design of healthcare operations, how you lay out a hospital,” said Joseph Jankowski, senior advisor to the chief innovation officer, Henry Ford Health System.
The institute is working with several international health systems to determine what the hospital of the future should look like.
