How to Destroy Innovation Silos

Despite the popularity of open innovation and community-based networks, healthcare organizations and doctors often shun outside ideas and collaboration, which can hinder progress and limit innovation. The challenge for healthcare organizations is to engage stakeholders and break down silos, both within their organization and in collaboration with other stakeholders in the innovation supply chain. By embracing collaboration and taking steps such as creating incubators, expanding knowledge exchange, and pursuing patient and vendor collaboration, healthcare can become more innovative and better serve patients.
