The Future of Nursing: What is the Innovation Design Unit?
Today’s episode is a futuristic one as our host Heidi Keeler sat down to talk with three innovative thinkers that Nebraska Medicine is lucky to have! We’ll let them introduce themselves, but we have Kara Tomlinson, Michelle Schulte, and Calli Sibilia who are all members of the team that runs the Innovation Design Unit (IDU). The IDU is a new space within University Tower and while still under construction will eventually house 17 active patient beds and a “makers space.” The Innovation Design Unit has been crafted with the idea in mind that healthcare is ever evolving while patient care remains top priority. So, how can we continue high quality patient care yet begin to shift that care in new and innovative ways? This unit is designed to help with that!
