How can healthcare managers stay current with the latest innovations?

When I was a resident, we interviewed a residency candidate and we were all impressed with her. We presented her application to the residency director (who was my mentor at the time), his only question was 'Does she read?' In a completly different sector, I especially liked the Charlie Munger quote featured in Forbes: I consistently see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed a little wiser than when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you. Being serious about lifelong learning will help you in your dealing with physicians as that is what distinguishes the excellent physicians from others.

To stay up to date in the health sector, it is important to periodically check scientific publications in the area of activity to identify what is new and participate in professional association events to observe benchamrk; that is, what practical applications and results exist in real-world evidence.

Healthcare managers can establish a continuous learning culture by implementing regular "Innovation Days" within their teams. Dedicate specific time, perhaps monthly or quarterly, for staff to explore and share the latest healthcare innovations. Encourage participation in webinars, conferences, and online courses. Foster cross-departmental collaboration, allowing team members to exchange insights and discuss potential applications of emerging technologies. This approach not only keeps managers informed but also empowers the entire team to stay current with the latest trends, fostering a culture of adaptability and innovation within the healthcare organization.

Participating in events that bring together health professionals for updates currently has, with the possibility of online participation, greater access and not wasting time traveling. On the other hand, there is a loss of eye contact, contact at gatherings and greater empathy. Therefore, it is worth participating not only in online events but also, when possible, in person. Another important point is to identify the quality of the events and not just the quantity.

Based on theoretical concepts and practical experiences, it is possible to pilot new projects with greater certainty of success. It is extremely important to engage the team and control mechanisms through specific and standardized methodologies. However, not everything is considered and inevitably it is necessary to be prepared for course corrections, natural in learning curves. Only those who don't try it won't make mistakes. Resilience in the face of difficulties and creativity in creating alternatives are crucial to success.

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Hochschulen bietet eine ausgezeichnete Möglichkeit, sich zu vernetzen. Durch die Verbindung mit jungen Talenten entsteht nicht nur ein frischer Blick auf Innovationen, sondern auch die Möglichkeit, an Forschungsprojekten teilzunehmen. Als Mentorin beim Hackathon konnte ich selbst erleben, wie bereichernd diese Erfahrung sein kann. Es ermöglicht nicht nur, Ideen einzubringen, sondern auch gemeinsam an ihrer Umsetzung zu arbeiten. So bleibt man stets auf dem neuesten Stand, lernt neue Ansätze im Team kennen und kann an spannenden Workshops teilnehmen. 🚀🤝🎓

Die Teilnahme an neuen Projekten erweitert nicht nur den eigenen Horizont, sondern ermöglicht auch, innovative Denkansätze in die eigene Gruppenpraxis einzubringen. Es ist sinnvoll, dem Team die Möglichkeit zu geben, neue Forschungsansätze kennenzulernen und sich von bewährten Praxisbeispielen inspirieren zu lassen. Auf diese Weise wird nicht nur theoretisches Wissen erworben, sondern es können auch praktische Umsetzungen direkt in Augenschein genommen werden. Ein ganzheitlicher Blick auf innovative Lösungen! 🌐🌟💡

Collaborate with innovative health-tech startups with cutting-edge technologies and consider implementing pilot programs to test and evaluate new technologies or processes within your own healthcare organization.

Innovation would-be make better working process or results or outcomes; quality, safety, time uses, satisfaction, and compliances for both of providers and customers or patients. To select, procure, and implement for new technology or innovation, the manager would be up to date, have a critical thinking and find out development process or solutions of better working from the present time or have planning on time periods as well setting. New technology have certain high cost concerned and need better value or good cost utility and benefits.
