MAKING PATIENT CARE SAFER, MORE ACCESSIBLE, MORE EFFICIENT,
AND LESS COSTLY ACROSS THE ENTIRE CONTINUUM OF CARE
Clinical healthcare environments are demanding, fast-paced, and complex. The barriers to innovation are signiicant, including the need to avoid disrupting ongoing day-to-day activities.
CIMIT’s model of developing clinical innovation “learning laboratories” across the continuum of care—from the hospital to the home—provides venues for technology and process innovation to address these challenges in realistic settings. It also provides a controlled environment to measure the impact of change.
The Clinical Systems Innovation (CSI) Program is CIMIT’s on-the-ground initiative to improve and advance the systems that support clinical care in real-world healthcare settings. CIMIT helps clinicians and institutions craft novel approaches to implementing a complex new care pathway or designing a new facility or better process, usually incorporating new technology.
