The team\u2019s designs are being shared with other innovators and health systems around the world.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cInnovation can often emerge rapidly from crisis as it provides conditions for thinking differently,\u201d said Jolynn Suko, senior vice president and chief innovation officer, Parkview Health. \u201cWith COVID-19, we saw the opportunity to support all patients and caregivers, not just the those in our region. While some designs have the potential to be used locally, the ideas being created by our Innovation Team are part of a global effort to address critical needs and save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Parkview Innovation Team participates in thought leadership with organizations like Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, allowing them to share and collaborate with other innovators facing the same challenges. Though the designs have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, they have the potential to be used to save patients and protect caregivers. <\/p>\n<p>Throughout the innovation process, Parkview\u2019s team had support from local universities and businesses, including Trine University, Purdue Fort Wayne, MasterCraft, L3Harris Technologies and QSC Fort Wayne.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud of what our team has built in collaboration with local and global innovators, and we hope some of these ideas can be implemented in pandemic response efforts,\u201d Suko said. \u201cWe will continue to refine our ideas and come up with more potential solutions to meet critical needs for the healthcare industry.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/parkview\/aerialviewcore36in.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Aerial View rendering of the Parkview Regional Medical Center, under construction.
