Vision
Our vision is for a CHI where innovation practice is widespread among a diverse range of staff and is centred on the needs of children and their families. We want to have a culture in CHI of curiosity, creativity and learning, and innovation structures that are understandable, accessible and supportive. This environment will allow the creativity, commitment and energy of our staff and partners to be translated into systems, products and services that create meaningful impact for children and their families. We would like our partners to describe innovation in CHI as follows:
Patients
"The people in the hospital ask me what I think when they are figuring out a better way too do things"
"It is obvious that staff in the hospital really do want to make things better for me"
"I feel like my opinion counts and the staff get that its all about us kids who have to deal with illness. I loved being part of the innovation project "
"I have loads of great ideas. Listen Up! "
