Hospital Innovation Programs Directory

An independent editorial resource published by Lisa T. Miller

Menu

Program model

Clinical and employee entrepreneurship programs

What this model typically enables

Programs that teach, fund, or otherwise support clinicians, researchers, and employees who want to develop and commercialize ideas.

Entrepreneurship programs are often the front door for people inside the hospital. They may include education, challenges, fellowships, or employee-inventor pathways.

These programs matter commercially when they connect to a later decision about license, company, partnership, or internal adoption. The directory keeps those later decisions on the profile, not as a public score.

These sourced records show how hospital innovation programs are organized through this particular function.
