Innovation at Banner Health

Innovation is an integral part of Banner’s mission to provide excellent patient care.

Innovation can come in many different forms: from robotics being used to make the smallest incisions possible to computerized alerts signaling that a baby about to be delivered is in distress.

Innovation is a keystone for Banner Health’s systemwide Care Transformation initiative that unites best practices in clinical care with leading edge technology to provide better, safer care to patients.

Banner, a leader in innovation, has routinely been the first to offer cutting-edge processes and procedures in the communities that it serves:

• Banner Health is the first health care provider in the communities we service to use eICU technology through our iCARE Intensive Care program, which allows for continuous monitoring of ICU patients by intensive care physicians from a remote monitoring center.
• Banner Health is the first health care system in the western United States to use an intelligent OB program, which provides clinical decision support, documentation and monitoring to help reduce complications during childbirth.
• Banner Health has implemented advanced surgical robotics technology to expand the ability of surgeons to perform complicated procedures with fewer, smaller incisions.
