OSF Trailblazer Challenges
We encourage Mission Partners to submit their ideas in interactive competitions solving for identified issues faced by our Ministry.
Patient Safety Technology Trailblazer
Thanks to a grant from the Patient Safety Technology Challenge, OSF Innovation is leveraging the OSF Trailblazer Challenge platform to engage medical students and residents through the University of Illinois College of Medicine to find unique solutions to patient challenges.
Over the summer of 2023, we'll be engaging the ideas of this select group around the possibilities of leveraging technology to solve for:
- Medication-related errors
- Fall prevention
- Procedure/surgery-related errors
- Health care acquired infections
- Diagnostic errors
