MIHealth Forum
Management & Clinical Innovation Forum
21-22/May
Montjuïc. 3th edition
At its third celebration, this forum devoted
to innovation in the management of health
centres and system, staged at the Congress
Palace, brought together professionals from
the fields of medicine, health management,
politics and industry.
Over two days, the symposium featured
lectures by seventy internationally prestigious
speakers, who discussed the challenges facing
the transformation of health with the aim of
conserving health services and making them
more sustainable. This Third MIHealth Forum
also focused on the use of technology, the
promotion of entrepreneurship and the role
played by patients as tools to transform systems
and make a more responsible use of resources.
The lectures were structured around three
key themes: clinical knowledge and innovation
management: from idea to market; technologies
for the transformation of the health system;
and innovation in the management of health
organisations. The speakers included such
important figures as Pedro Guillén, the first
surgeon to use Google Glass during an operation;
Stephen J. Swensen, director of the Office of
Leadership and Organization Development at the
May Clinic (United States); and Ron S. Dembo,
founder of Zerofootprint Software.
At this latest edition, the MIHealth Forum
prizes for innovation were awarded in three
categories, corresponding to the key themes
on the symposium programme. The awards
went to the firm of Transmural Biotech for
its development of a quick, non-invasive test
for foetal lung maturity; and to the Hospital
Clinic of Barcelona for both a new automated
system of haematological diagnosis by imaging
and also by a new organisational model for
nursing introduced at this health centre in the
Catalan capital.
