Voices of Innovation - Europe

Everyone talks about innovation, and we can all point to random examples of innovation inside of healthcare information technology, but few repeatable processes exist that make innovation more routine than happenstance.

How do you create and sustain a culture of innovation? What are the best practices you can refine and embed as part of your organization’s DNA? What are the potential outcomes for robust healthcare transformation when we get this innovation mystery solved? Through timely essays from leading experts, the Voices of Innovation for Healthcare series consisting of three books showcased the widely adopted healthcare innovation model from HIMSS and how providers and payers could leverage it to increase their velocity of digital transformation. The most recent volume focused on how AI leverages the same framework and construct but zeroed in on artificial intelligence to include large language models, voice technology, and robotic process automation. Now the time has come for Voices of Innovation—Europe. While the Voices series has included European voices, the contributions have been limited. In important ways, the European market is vastly different from the US-based market. The payor- and government-based care make their approach to tech-enabled care different.

Using the HIMSS model for innovation as the structural framework, Voices of Innovation—Europe showcases the great innovations being implemented across their healthcare ecosystems. This structure will easily enable subsequent editions as advancements are made.
