Julie Campbell is Director of Innovation Consulting with Healthbox, a HIMSS Solution Company.

What is your role?

I work with clients, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, Orlando Health and Advocate Aurora Health, to advance their innovation and digital strategies.

How long have you been at HIMSS?

I've been with HIMSS 1.5 years. I joined November 2018.

How do you support our mission statement?

Healthbox’s goal is to give healthcare organizations the strategy, tools and solutions to reform and transform through the power of information and technology. At Healthbox, we help organizations drive innovation from the inside and out to empower the reinvention of healthcare.

We support organizations that are building innovation programs, defining their digital strategy, considering an investment strategy and evaluating opportunities to commercialize externally. Innovation is a teachable skill, and transformation will not happen without innovation at scale. So Healthbox is here to give organizations that boost they need to empower innovation.

How do you know your work at HIMSS makes a difference?

While I have been at Healthbox, I have been able to work with various people, from chief strategy officers, to physician leaders, to frontline staff. When I work with individuals to build a business case to advance their innovation, I get to see their ideas come to life. I get to see them turn from operators to entrepreneurs. We see this excitement manifest in our Net Promoter Scores, which average to 90.

What’s one thing you wish everyone knew about the work you do at HIMSS?

Innovation can come from everywhere! Healthbox wants to give everyone the tools to be able to identify the problems they face and creatively think about a solution. We work with executives on building the right strategy, but we also work with individual innovators to refine and advance their ideas. You don’t have to be in the C-suite to be able to transform healthcare.
