Intermountain Healthcare’s Healthcare Transformation Lab (Murray, Utah). The Healthcare Transformation Lab opened 10 miles south of Salt Lake City in August 2013 with the goal of researching, developing and measuring ideas to optimize patient care. Intermountain physicians experienced this in a very hands-on way in June when they used technology at the Healthcare Transformation Lab to create a 3-D model of a patient’s kidney to figure out how to remove a complicated tumor. The lab’s other projects include developing the patient room of the future, a hand-washing sensor to boost hand hygiene compliance and a life detector that alerts caregivers to changes in patients’ vital signs.
