Henry Ford Health System’s Henry Ford Innovation Institute is developing innovations within the healthcare system in addition to being receptive to outside ideas, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

The Detroit institute is being called “an innovator’s playground,” with all the resources needed to develop new healthcare ideas, including 3-D printers for rapid prototyping and the services of two full-time medical designers, the article said.
