As CEO of Vanderbilt University Adult Hospital, Mitch Edgeworth is confronted with many opportunities to improve the operation of the hospital and in some instances implement transformative innovations. In fact, Mitch and Vanderbilt University Medical Center embrace the concept of The Learning Health System. In a Learning Health System some of the same methods that are employed in improving medicine are applied to the delivery of care.

With a focus on improving the patient experience and reducing readmissions, Mitch considered making a significant investment in hiring nurses to contact patients following discharge. Working with Dr. Gordon Bernard, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Research and Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Science, Mitch decided to do a study of the impact of follow-up calls on readmissions. Join us to learn about The Learning Health System and the surprising findings of this study.

The Learning Health System is a practical forum and organizational culture that brings together leadership from Operations and Research for developing ideas and reviewing the results of studies that are aligned with organizational goals. Central to the platform is the notion that systematic investigation of practice change can raise the quality of evidence that can transform real world health care.

The Disruption Lab heads to the Wond’ry for a behind the scenes tour of this epicenter of innovation and entrepreneurship within the heart of Nashville, Tenn. Made up of a cluster of state-of-the-art innovation labs for graduate students, faculty, staff and employees of Vanderbilt University, the Wond’ry attracts a mashup of curious thinkers, researchers, cross-functional and interdisciplinary teams.

In this session, David Owens, Professor of the Practice of Management and Innovation at the Owen Graduate School of Management, Vanderbilt University, Chairman of the Advisory Board for the Wond’ry, and an Associate of The Disruption Lab, will present on the vision and how the Wond’ry became a reality at Vanderbilt University. He’ll also illuminate the differences and similarities of how a research institution approaches and supports innovation compared and contrasted with how entrepreneurs and corporate innovators must approach innovation. Robert Grajewski, Evans Family Executive Director of the Wond’ry, will present on current programs and initiatives that serve their mission and offer effective solutions to pressing societal problems, the Wond’ry’s role within the larger innovation ecosystem, and their process for testing new ideas and then, once proven, how teams take them out into the world.
