A parable goes as follows: "When the spines of the old generation begin to wedge, the decline of an organization or a nation ensues." Taiwan is slowly moving towards the road with diminished light! Innovation is indispensable at this moment for cultural awakening in Taiwan. Thus, we desperately need right persons, at the right time, to stand up to say the right word, do the right things, and make the right connections; consequently, establishing a brand-new organization for connecting those ‘right’s is just the right thing to do!
Therefore, Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital unprecedentedly set up an innovation center in the spring of 2018 for ensuring sustainable development in medical industry!
The mission of the Innovation Center, Originals & Enterprises, as the name implies, is to connect the right people to do the right thing by linking the individuals with original spirit with the business partners with entrepreneurial ambition in a meaningful and lasting way for inventing medical products really beneficiary for the patients and for creating a smart environment that is truly good for medical research and development, and hopefully to become an integral part of a thriving entrepreneurship.
KSVGH Originals & Enterprises has been working with a number of companies, universities and corporate bodies to bring innovation to the forefront of the life sciences and medical industry, with the hope to form effective clinical information leadership via five major perspectives including information exchange, engagement, professionalism, orchestration and convergence; also making the best out of accountability, courage, creativity, decision-making, effectiveness, and cross-disciplinary thinking, trying to explore the tomorrow stars in hospitals and enterprises to give birth to more innovators and entrepreneurs, to achieve the highest goal of digital governance of the medical system.
Although the main healthcare building at KSVGH campus is only ten stories high, “Originals & Enterprises” wishes to build a virtual skyscraper in the Cloud to embody the vision of medical center of excellence to gain great renown worldwide in the not far future.
