As part of the new 120,000-square-foot Kem C. Gardner Intermountain Transformation Center, which will house multiple institutes, the Utah-based not-for-profit health system is partnering with the CHIME Innovation Center to identify transformative HIT ideas, technologies and investment opportunities across the globe and to help bring them to market quickly and cost effectively.

\u201cWe have an extensive global reach with 3,000 members around the world,\u201d says Keith Fraidenburg, CHIME\u2019s executive vice president and chief operating officer. \u201cIntermountain is widely recognized as an innovative health system always striving to push healthcare forward, whether that\u2019s on the IT front or clinical practices. We work really well together and have a common core mission of improving healthcare through the practical application of technologies and solutions. It\u2019s just a natural fit.\u201d

Fraidenburg notes that CHIME will have a physical presence in the Transformation Center, located on the campus of Intermountain Medical Center in Murray, Utah. While that space is not quite ready and is currently being built out, he adds that it will be very \u201chigh tech\u201d and will host educational programs and innovation facilitation workshops at Intermountain\u2019s state-of-the-art center.

\u201cThis space is going to be really cool and high tech,\u201d boasts Fraidenburg. \u201cIn fact, our expectation is that it will feature some of the greatest technologies in the entire Intermountain Transformation Center, which is saying a lot having had the opportunity to personally tour the center.\u201d

According to Intermountain, an existing Innovation Lab at its Transformation Center will leverage 3D technology to print copies of patient organs, enabling surgeons to better perform life-altering surgeries. In addition, the Institute for Healthcare Leadership\u2014led by Intermountain president emeritus Charles Sorenson, MD\u2014will offer leadership training courses for medical professionals, including a simulation center where clinicians can practice care scenarios using virtual technology.

\u201cWe are stewards of Intermountain\u2019s long tradition of innovation, and this Transformation Center will be a hotbed, locally, regionally, nationally and globally as we seek to advance that tradition,\u201d said Marc Harrison, MD, president and CEO of Intermountain Healthcare, in a written statement.

\u201cEveryone is talking about emerging technologies such as AI, machine learning, virtual reality, augmented reality and blockchain\u2014but what do they really mean in a healthcare IT context?\u201d adds Fraidenburg. \u201cThat\u2019s where the CHIME Innovation Center activities (at the Intermountain Transformation Center) can help explore how to not only better understand some of these technologies, but how to apply them practically in a solution-oriented context in healthcare organizations.\u201d","saveContent":"Intermountain Healthcare and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives have teamed to transform medical care by collaborating with innovative health IT leaders worldwide.
