Dan Shoenthal, Chief Innovation Officer at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, highlighted the importance of tailoring innovation initiatives to fit the specific priorities and goals of each health system. At MD Anderson, the focus is on enhancing patient and clinician experiences through both technological and non-technological solutions. For example, training staff to be human navigators and developing tools like a referral status app have improved patient care and satisfaction. Shoenthal emphasized the value of starting with simple changes before moving on to more disruptive innovations, ultimately aiming to provide the best possible care for patients going through a cancer diagnosis.
