Innovation and New Knowledge
Innovation and new knowledge drive the identification and support of innovative breakthroughs that increase value for our patients, families, staff and physicians.
SHA defines Innovation as a collaborative approach to cultivating new ideas, processes and solutions that drive the transformation of the health system.
SHA Innovates purpose is to create space, vision, and support to bring this definition to life – to enable the collaboration that drives innovation in our health system.
Working within three distinct spaces, SHA Innovates collaborates with teams, innovative businesses and other strategic partners to accelerate innovation, ultimately transforming the health system in Saskatchewan.
Each space overlaps to create a fluid experience as we work through the creative problem solving steps of clarifying, ideating, developing and implementing.
