Institute For The Future

It's Official: Over 4,500 Ideas for Reinventing the Hospital

On January 8—9, IFTF ran the 24-hour Future of the Hospital game on Foresight Engine, our collaborative forecasting platform, to help reinvent the community hospital.

In these 24 hours, 637 people from around the globe came together to generate 4,528 ideas for reinventing the hospital. Players from San Francisco to Omaha and the United Arab Emirates to New Zealand forecasted on topics ranging from the big meaning of community wellness to the small details of hospital billing codes, and everything in between.  

To see some highlights from Future of the Hospital, check out our game blog; look for more highlights and analyses in the coming days, as well as the announcement of awards for the best microforecasts and player contributions on January 21.

Future of the Hospital Game Report

IFTF will be diving in deep into the ideas the game generated, analyzing the data to create a report for the organizations who made the game possible. We’ll be identifying key themes, threats, and opportunities that emerged from the discussion.  If you're interested in getting access to the report, please contact Dawn Alva at [email protected].
