Monash Health Innovation and Improvement Expo

Partnering for Innovation – Unlocking creativity to inspire change.

The Monash Health Innovation and Improvement Expo is returning in 2016 with a range of events across major sites from 11 – 13 October.

The second annual event builds on the successes of last year by unlocking creativity and partnership opportunities through a wide range of innovation and improvement displays, workshops, speakers and events.

The expo will feature a keynote address at Monash Medical Centre by Dr Louise Schaper, leader of Australia’s peak professional organisation for digital health and renowned advocate for the transformation of healthcare through partnerships in technology and information. This will be followed by a series of short presentations from staff, consumers and Monash Health partners whose successes resonate with the Expo theme ‘Partnering for Innovation’.

This year’s event will showcase a Technology Hub at the Clayton site, providing staff and consumers with a hands-on experience of the latest technologies and innovations in health. Staff will also have the opportunity to invigorate their own improvement journey through the Breakfast Seminar: ‘Energising Your Profile at Monash Health’.

Three Improvement Masterclasses will be held across bed-based and community sites. These sessions, facilitated by Monash Health Innovation and Improvement Advisors, will help staff transform their ideas to reality by breaking down essential steps in a project lifecycle, equipping participants with useful tools and resources to facilitate success.

Dandenong Hospital will host the Breakfast Seminar, an ‘Introduction to Design Thinking.’ This forum will provide staff with useful tools to cultivate empathy, drive cultural transformation and enhance patient experience to facilitate improvement in the clinical environment.

The HealthPlay, ‘Do You Know Me?’ will be facilitated by the Hush Foundation at the Kingston Centre. This live performance will invite the audience to reflect on the journey of care from the patient and family perspective in an aged care setting and provide an interactive forum for collaboration and participation to help deliver excellence in patient and resident care.

Monash Health Community provides the setting for a collaboration between Monash Health Innovation and Improvement and Monash Community at 122 Thomas Street. This event will feature an Improvement Masterclass and presentations from Monash Community clinicians, celebrating and inspiring current and future innovation and improvement opportunities in this setting.

Monash Health is a place for innovation and improvement. Come and partner with us on this journey!
