Innovation manager as a service

Times of crisis force us to break new ground. Traditional structures are reaching their limits – but this is precisely where the opportunity lies.

What is behind it?

Innovation management – why new times need new models

With Innovation Manager as a Service, we are creating a model that does not leave innovation to chance, but drives it forward in a targeted manner – even in challenging times.

We are living in challenging times: Hospitals are under enormous cost pressure, care facilities are struggling with a shortage of skilled workers, and digitalization in the healthcare sector is progressing more slowly than necessary. At the same time, innovations are emerging worldwide in the fields of robotics, automation and artificial intelligence, which have the potential to sustainably improve healthcare.

But how can organizations take advantage of these opportunities if they lack time, resources or internal expertise?

Agility instead of well-trodden paths.

Cooperation instead of isolation.

Involve experts instead of accepting bottlenecks.

IFOHRA’s solution approach

Targeted use of process optimization know-how in hospitals

The problem: innovation backlog in the healthcare sector

Complex framework conditions: Regulatory requirements (MDR, DiGA, data protection) present major hurdles.
Shortage of specialists: clinics and care facilities have hardly any capacity to drive forward new projects alongside their day-to-day business.
Investment risks: Wrong decisions can be expensive and have a long-term impact.

The result: many good ideas are left lying around – even though the need for innovative solutions is more urgent than ever.

The solution: Innovation management as a service

With our innovation manager as a service, we offer a flexible, external resource that provides facilities with precise support:

Trend and technology radar: We identify relevant developments in robotics, automation and AI.
Funding scouting: We identify suitable funding programs and provide support with applications.
Piloting & evaluation: We accompany pilot projects, measure results and derive specific recommendations for action.
Strategic roadmaps: We work with you to develop strategies for the sustainable implementation of new technologies.
