Case Studies | MedStar Health

The efforts highlighted here provide examples of MI2’s innovation work in recent years. They are categorized by the MI2 team that led them and note their implementation phase:

  • Activeprojects are those currently in development or in practice.

  • Concludedprojects were time-bound, such as events or research grant projects, yet aspects of the work or the results it inspired may continue (e.g., technology tool, other training efforts).

  • Reinventedprojects provided foundational insights, infrastructure, etc., which were then further adapted and scaled to leverage lessons learned.
