For the past ten years, the hospital has hosted “Pediatric Innovation Day,” giving clinicians and hospital staff the opportunity to submit an idea that would improve patient care.
“We know that within our organization, it’s those front-line people that know what the problem is and they know how to fix it. And so, we’ve got to get those ideas from those people. And then we also have to support them to get them done,” said Claudia Hoyen, director of pediatric innovation.
