Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Healthcare and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives launched an innovation center in Murray, Utah, as a resource to promote emerging technology in healthcare.
Powered by Sirius Healthcare, a technology-based business solutions provider, the Intermountain and CHIME Innovation Center is designed to assist healthcare systems in improving patient care and organizational efficiencies.
The new center is located on Intermountain Healthcare's Murray-based medical campus, one of 23 hospitals belonging to the nonprofit health system, at the Kem C. Gardner Transformation Center.
"The Intermountain and CHIME Innovation Center provides a prescriptive environment, designed for healthcare IT innovators, to both test and validate clinical technologies — all in an effort to effectively deliver better patient and provider experiences," Frederick Holston, director of healthcare at Sirius, said in a news release.
