Register now for the Ivey Global Health Innovation Conference 2010.

The Ivey Centre for Health Innovation and Leadership is preparing health leaders with the skills they need to identify, assess and facilitate the adoption of innovative technologies, systems and processes that our health systems need in order to be sustainable. The Centre is addressing health care’s “innovation adoption deficit” and the persistent lack of highly-trained and skilled leaders and change-agents able to commercialize innovation or effectively implement new systems and management processes in both the private sector and in our publicly funded health care institutions.

Situated within the Richard Ivey School of Business at The University of Western Ontario, we seek to:

• Prepare health leaders who can identify, assess and facilitate the adoption of innovative health care technologies, systems and processes. We do this through our MBA programs, executive development education programs and post-graduate scholarship.
• Provide students with hands-on experience via “health innovation projects” that will themselves create momentum for change with the health system.
• Create “living laboratories” with health system partners, in both the public and private sectors, where innovations can be properly evaluated and best-practices identified.
• Conduct and disseminate research that establishes the evidence base for health system innovation solutions that are applicable in the context of the Canadian health care system.
