Innovation Workshop

Want to learn more about how Kaiser Permanente innovates?

Innovation & Improvement in Process, Space, and Technology

At the Sidney R. Garfield Innovation Center, Kaiser Permanente's patients, doctors, nurses, architects and engineers use elements of human-centered design to improve and to innovate physical spaces, technologies and clinical operations in a unique, “movie-set” warehouse. Many of our innovations have been spread throughout Kaiser Permanente as well as to organizations nationally and internationally.

Join us for a two-day inaugural session that introduces our unique methodology and prototyping capabilities at the Garfield Center led by Kaiser Permanente innovators from our own Innovation Consultancy, Innovation and Advanced Technology and National Facilities departments. During this highly interactive session, participants will focus on improving medication safety as a case study and actively prototype new spaces, technologies and processes that improve medication safety.

Highlights of the Program Include:

• Experience first-hand how we understand our users’ needs and ideate and prototype new processes, spaces and technologies

• Learn how we engage end-users (patients, doctors and nurses) and how they impact the successful spread and sustainability of innovation

• Understand how we learn from failure and embrace it as part of our culture

• Learn how to build your own Innovation Center

• Collaborate with other like-minded innovators on real world cases
  

  Learning Objectives:

• Awareness of human-centered design & collaboration as powerful tools for innovation

• Extrapolate case study learnings to real world problem

• Understanding of different innovation centers and their similarities and differences
