To describe novel methods regarding innovation for pharmacists and student pharmacists to leverage local and national events, such as hackathons and innovation labs, that provide guidance and resources for developing novel products and solutions in health care.
Not applicable.
The profession of pharmacy exists in a diverse and complex system where collaboration is essential for innovation and can leverage existing resources to accelerate this. Hackathons occur over one or more days and offer a venue and resources to support innovation as interprofessional teams develop and pitch new product ideas for potential investment. Innovation labs serve as more permanent locations that offer resources and expertise to help realize ideas and guide development into potentially viable solutions and products for health care.
Although currently hosted hackathons and design spaces may prove to be beneficial to pharmacists looking to innovate, they are frequently located in urban areas or large academic institutions that are not readily accessible to the larger pharmacy community. Fostering opportunities, whether as local hackathons or innovation labs, can potentially help to accelerate the innovation cycle for the pharmacy profession. These resources can be developed in local communities or through national pharmacy societies and organizations to increase access.
为药剂师和实习药剂师描述创新的新方法，利用当地和全国的活动，如黑客马拉松和创新实验室，为医疗保健领域的新产品和解决方案提供指导和资源。
不适用。
药学专业存在于一个多样化和复杂的系统中，协作对于创新至关重要，并且可以利用现有资源来加速创新。黑客马拉松活动持续一天或多天，为跨专业团队提供了一个场所和资源，支持他们开发和展示新产品创意，以寻求潜在投资。创新实验室则是更永久的场所，提供资源和专业知识，帮助实现创意，并指导开发潜在可行的医疗保健解决方案和产品。
虽然目前举办的黑客马拉松和设计空间可能对寻求创新的药剂师有益，但它们通常位于城市地区或大型学术机构，对更广泛的药学社区来说不太容易接近。无论是在当地举办黑客马拉松还是创新实验室，都可以为加速药学专业的创新周期提供机会。这些资源可以在当地社区或通过全国性的药学协会和组织开发，以增加可及性。
