Many healthcare IT organizations view education as critical to success and see innovation as a driver of growth. CHIME also has made education and innovation pillars of the organization. It is part of the CHIME mission statement to serve healthcare leaders through “utilization of knowledge and technology” in order to transform the healthcare IT industry. This is the purpose of CHIME Innovation. 

CHIME Innovation is a global healthcare initiative of CHIME that provides innovation-specific education, facilitation and physical locations for healthcare executives to collaboratively solve current and future challenges. CHIME Innovation creates an environment that allows leaders to devise a plan for innovation, return to their respective organizations and implement that plan. Our first collaborative Innovation Center was launched in Utah with the partnership of Intermountain Healthcare. 

CHIME Innovation has successfully launched multiple Innovation Executive Series using our facility in Utah and we now are preparing for the CI²O Innovation Summit on Sept. 19-20 in Chicago. This is a new annual innovation facilitation event that will focus on the intersection between senior information executives and senior innovation executives. CI²O will include a small number of senior–level sponsor executives as participants to join in discussions under the theme “Leading the Digital Health Ecosystem.” All attendees, including sponsor executives, will have the opportunity to actively participate in ‘fishbowl panels’ during CI²O, and thought leadership work groups following the CI²O. This is a unique opportunity for thought leadership and industry engagement.  

There are now multiple opportunities to partner with CHIME Innovation to help transform health and care around the globe. CHIME Foundation partners also can exclusively sponsor the upcoming Innovation Executive series on January 23-24, with the opportunity to attend and collaborate on real solutions to real problems. In partnering with CHIME Innovation, Foundation partners can contribute to the innovation that takes place during these events. 

In addition to the upcoming events, we’re excited to hear from our Foundation partners on how CHIME Innovation can serve their needs. Any input or suggestions can be provided directly to Jonathan or the respective account directors. All input and feedback are welcomed! 

Please contact your account directors for more information and details about CI²O and the next Executive Series.
