Exploring New Frontiers in Hospital Management

Recently, the “Safor Salut” cooperation program convened leading experts from the health, technology, and business sectors for a technical conference focused on research and innovation in hospital management processes. Held at the Francesc de Borja University Hospital in Gandia, this event marked a milestone by bringing together diverse sectors to foster the creation of innovative projects in healthcare.

Advances and Disruptive Tools

The event showcased effective methodologies designed to optimize hospital management processes through innovation. Key system processes were identified, highlighting how implementing tools and methodologies tested in various settings can significantly advance management.  Furthermore, the establishment of task forces capable of transforming these ideas into tangible projects was encouraged.

Pedro Rollán, manager of Francesc Borja Hospital in Gandia, and Jaume Morera, director of Long Stay Hospital-HACLE La Pedrera, discussed their vision for applying innovative methodologies to optimize key hospital processes.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

From a business perspective, Ernesto Beltrán of the Innova Group underscored several effective methodologies for innovating in process management and applications, while Julio García from the Universitat Politècnica de València stressed the significance of innovation in hospital management. Gema Ibáñez t, also from the UPV, contributed her experience in the continuous optimization of processes through interactive data mining.
