SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, October 23, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The 2017 class of new innovations and their entrepreneurs have been selected in the Intermountain Healthcare Foundry Program. The Foundry gives support and assistance to caregivers and their concepts for innovations that can make a significant impact in the healthcare field.
"This year's cohort of Foundry participants embodies Intermountain's commitment to excellence and spirit of innovation," says Bert Zimmerli, executive vice president and chief financial officer. "They identified opportunities — both clinical and operational — where improvement was needed and have successfully implemented innovative solutions. Now those ideas have the potential to further positively impact Intermountain as well as the broader healthcare industry as commercial products and services. We're excited to see how their business ideas develop over the course of the Foundry program."
The 2017 Intermountain Foundry cohort includes:
• Thoughtful Care: A program and database that enables greater transparency around patient care and empowers caregivers to appropriately question care decisions, resulting in fewer unnecessary patient procedures, as well as improved outcomes and reduced costs. Innovator: Erick Ridout, MD, neonatologist and medical director from Intermountain’s Dixie Regional Medical Center.
• icAIR Tracker: A patient engagement tool that facilitates proactive asthma management for adults, thus preventing adverse events including hospitalizations and emergency department visits.

San Juan County requested the BLM grant a title 5 road right of way in Recapture Canyon seven years before the incident in question. Although the BLM was required to answer our request within two years, they ignored it. A failed government bureaucracy with an inability to communicate promptly led to the ATV ride in 2015. This is another example of federal government overreach and unaccountable bureaucracy.”
