Michael Ackerman, director of the Master in Healthcare Innovation Program at The Ohio State University, believes that every innovation program must do three things in tandem:
- Innovation – filling gaps where no solution currently exists, in a way that adds value
- Renovation – quality improvement and process improvement
- Exnovation – removing functions that no longer add value; also known as de-implementation
When practiced together, and ideally led by different teams within the organization, the 3 pillars of The Novation Dynamic help us overcome the notorious friction that has slowed healthcare innovation for too long.

- The 3 pillars of The Novation Dynamic and how to apply them in your organization

- How to create a culture of innovation (plus, a killer idea to make your end of year reviews meaningful at the same time).
- Why no innovation should be deployed without a scheduled reevaluation date.
- How to tap the tremendous potential of nurses to drive innovation
