Video: Watch “Being Innovative in a Time of Rapid Change”

Congress keynote speaker Josh Linkner encourages us to view innovation as one of our most valuable resources to drive patient outcomes. Author and chair and co-founder of Platypus Labs, Linkner, in his talk, “Being Innovative in a Time of Rapid Change,” said healthcare executives should look at their everyday activities through the lens of innovation, applying the principles of innovation to how patients are cared for every day. This, he said, will help foster an environment that drive the greatest “imprint” that organizations can create. “Those little innovations may not make the cover of a magazine. But talking about driving imprint, I believe everyday innovations can do just that.”
