HPIO conference to look outside health settings for innovative approaches

Discover how looking outside of health and health care settings can foster the type of integrative thinking and collaboration that leads to innovative solutions. 

This one-day conference on May 8 in Columbus will showcase innovative approaches to health-related issues that have been adopted from other industries or sectors, and that have the potential to reduce costs, improve outcomes or increase access. Participants will also learn about the relevant state or federal policy implications of these approaches.
