Innovation and Technology of Sustainability

Innovation Development Strategy

BDMS has developed an innovation network both within the organization and through partnerships with external innovation stakeholders, including government entities, private organizations, and educational institutions at both national and international levels. The goal is to collaboratively drive open innovation, share knowledge, and focus on developing technologies for smart hospitals to deliver the highest quality healthcare services and continuously improve business efficiency. This initiative also aims to foster medical innovation in Thailand, enhancing the country’s competitiveness and ensuring the highest quality of health care.

BDMS Awards

The BDMS Awards innovation stage is another important mechanism for creating an organization's innovation culture. The BDMS Awards is organized under a different concept each year, depending on the organization's context, which focuses on integrating technology and innovation into the medical service system to create a patient-centered digital hospital. The innovation project categories in the BDMS Awards are divided into 4 categories as follows:

1. High Performance Organization Enhancing long-term organizational competitiveness through innovation and improved efficiency
2. Value-Based Healthcare Delivering valuable, ethical, and high-quality care with a patient-centric approach
3. Net-Zero Healthcare Operating with environmental awareness, aiming for zero greenhouse gas emissions to address climate change
4. Social Innovation Creating innovations that uplift the lives of individuals and communities, generating shared and sustainable value

Nevertheless, submitted initiatives must clearly outline their background and significance by identifying the issues or challenges that are aimed to be rectified while presenting systematic principles and rationale that support effective innovation development. The innovation development in the BDMS Awards emphasizes the use of systematic analysis and planning processes, focusing on involvement from all relevant parties to create clear innovation outcomes with practical application. The BDMS Awards serve as one of the key mechanisms driving the organization to keep up with changes. In addition, BDMS Awards enables employees to exchange knowledge, build collaborative networks, and develop essential skills such as innovative thinking, project management, and evaluation competency. The success of these initiatives isn't only beneficial to the organization but also displays the commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
