• Infusing innovation into healthcare requires infusing innovation with healthcare first.
• Carve out time for elective education around basic healthcare design, innovation, and business concepts for clinical students and professionals.

• Hire clinicians to lead and consult in hospital innovation centers – as “clinical interpreters,” they can translate the intricacies of the clinical world for designers and vice versa.
