Innovation is the process through which new scientific discoveries are developed and promoted from bench to bedside. In an effort to encourage young entrepreneurs in this area, Stanford Biodesign developed a medical device innovation training program focused on need-based innovation. The program focuses on teaching systematic evaluation of healthcare needs, invention, and concept development. This process can be applied to any field of medicine, including Pediatric Surgery. Similar training programs have gained traction throughout the United States and beyond. Equally important to process in the success of these programs is an institutional culture that supports transformative thinking. Key components of this culture include risk tolerance, patience, encouragement of creativity, management of conflict, and networking effects.
创新是一个将新的科学发现从实验室研发并推广至临床应用的过程。为鼓励该领域的年轻创业者，斯坦福生物设计公司制定了一项专注于基于需求的创新的医疗设备创新培训计划。该计划着重于教授对医疗保健需求、发明以及概念开发进行系统评估。这一过程可应用于医学的任何领域，包括小儿外科。类似的培训计划在美国乃至其他国家都受到了欢迎。对于这些计划的成功而言，与过程同样重要的是一种支持变革性思维的机构文化。这种文化的关键要素包括风险承受能力、耐心、对创造力的鼓励、冲突管理以及网络效应。
