About this Seminar

Healthcare Organizations have embraced digital innovations, particularly during the COVID pandemic. Creating a sustainable culture of innovation, however, is challenging. Organizations must have the willingness and the passion to continuously reinvent not only the way that they do their business, but also their technology.    Houston Methodist Hospital has built a Center for Innovation that continuously drives Innovation in patient facing and administrative departments. Dr. Schwartz will explore the structure behind the Center for Innovation as well as some of the products that are currently in use.
