Building an Innovation Lifecycle Ontology

It's easy to experiment with new tech and produce products that look and sound innovative. It's much harder to tie your innovation efforts to strategic objectives with measurable outcomes and then scale the solution across your organization. The former leads to "death by pilot". The latter makes a difference in people's lives. We need a more disciplined approach to innovation if we want to make a difference. In this episode (Ep. 201) we introduce the concept of the Healthcare Delivery Organization Innovation Lifecycle Ontology or HDO-ILO. That's a fancy way of saying that we are attempting to codify what we've learned over the past 200 episodes and through our decades of Health IT / Digital Health innovation experience. You can find the current draft here:  Healthcare Delivery Organization Innovation Lifecycle Ontology (HDO-ILO) Our goal is to help the industry move from a haphazard way of innovation to one that is more thoughtful, deliberate, targeted, measurable, and repeatable. And we need your help! There are several asks for the community throughout this episode. Please send us your ideas and experiences.

Om Podcasten

A practical podcast on the business of healthcare w/ hosts Don Lee and Shahid Shah. The premise behind #HCBiz is that we can't "just innovate". Sure, you may have a great idea, an all-star team and execute flawlessly, but if you don't understand the complex dynamics of the healthcare business you'll never get traction. We'll identify the issues that impede change, explain why they exist and find ways to work with them, through them, or around them. In short, we'll help you create space for innovation in healthcare through technology (HealthIT | HIT | Digital Health) and workflow. We'll also explore health policy, administration and the psychology behind it all. Finally, we help you align your ideas to business incentives, market them to healthcare leaders and get the sale.
