Baldrige Winner Adventist Health White Memorial’s Journey of Innovation through COVID-19
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Adventist Health White Memorial had to swiftly act to redesign organizational capabilities and support staff to improve wellness and retention. The existing culture of innovation and improvement allowed the organization to repurpose existing technology and expand artificial intelligence capabilities to improve patient outcomes and the staff experience.
