BAPTIST HEALTH INSTITUTES AND PROGRAMS
BAPTIST HEALTH INNOVATIONS Fundraising at a Glance
The vision of Baptist Health Innovations is to engineer the future of healthcare by creating a culture of innovation, which will provide physicians and staff with world-class resources to turn great ideas into transformative products and services directed at improving the health and healthcare of our communities. In 2021, philanthropic efforts continued to focus on raising critical funds in support of the Institute’s four pillars: global healthcare design; co-creation/invention; applied research and education supporting invention; and intellectual asset management. Philanthropy has helped support realworld solutions for problems patients and healthcare providers are facing now, enabling Baptist Health to move at the speed of business and create meaningful collaborations to benefit our patients and community.
Donor support has also helped to ensure that transformative ideas are tested, prototyped and provided to patients waiting for new treatments and lifesaving procedures.
Looking to the Future
Challenges are calls to action aimed at accelerating research, development and demonstration in areas that could provide significant benefits to patients and the healthcare sector. Thanks to philanthropic support, Baptist Health Innovations is working to establish an Innovation Challenge in order to pilot a new program within Baptist Health. A survey will be sent to the organization’s clinical leadership to gather information regarding current problems faced by our healthcare workers. Based on the results, the Institute will focus on developing the most innovative ideas to solve these real-world concerns in healthcare delivery and patient experience. It will issue challenges and provide seed funding to develop the best idea and complete a piloted program with Baptist Health and other strategic partners. The Innovation Challenge will serve as an important resource in improving care delivery based on patient-centric problems, impacting patients in South Florida and beyond. 31
