Reinventing the Patient Room: How Simulation Sparks Innovation

Health care innovation works best when new solutions are proven to support patients and care teams. OSF Innovation is testing the future of inpatient care by creating an innovation smart room. This fully simulated hospital room is designed to safely test, refine and validate new technologies, workflows and care models before they ever reach a patient’s bedside.Join us as we discuss how this simulated patient room serves as a proving ground for practical, reliable and patient-centered solutions. This dedicated space allowed OSF to move away from piloting technology in active hospital rooms, which has accelerated meaningful improvements and paved the way for smart, connected inpatient care.Host Shelli Dankoff chats with Becky Buchen, senior vice president of innovation and transformation at OSF HealthCare, and Kelly George, vice president of Performance Improvement at OSF HealthCare, about how this room represents a foundational step toward safer, smarter and more intentional care delivery through simulation.Connect with us at www.osfhealthcare.org/accelerated
