The Healthcare Innovation Lab, established by BJC HealthCare and Washington University School of Medicine, has catalyzed care delivery innovations since 2017. Focusing on digital health to enhance care delivery and patient outcomes, the Lab emphasizes predictive analytics, digital point-of-care tools, and remote patient monitoring. The Lab identifies innovative ideas that align with the health system mission and deliver empiric value to its patients and care teams. Since its inception, the Lab has vetted 507 ideas, piloting 98, with a success rate of 40%. Examples include a predictive model to improve palliative care referrals and goal-of-care discussions, a digital approach to non-emergent medical transportation that enhances access and equity, and a COVID-19 home monitoring program that proved essential during the pandemic. These initiatives underscore the importance of integrating digital technology with health care, balancing innovation with practical application, and using a data-informed approach to innovation selection and assessment.
