SEE YOU NOW Insight 12: Nurse Hackathons a Key to Innovation

September 4, 2025

Detail

Hackathons are intense, fast-paced events where interdisciplinary teams come together to solve complex problems. In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 46: What The Hack? health economist Jane Sarasohn-Kahn and nurse innovator Rebecca Love describe why it’s so important to bring nurses into the hackathon mix to help solve some of the most pressing problems in healthcare.

Very few nurses attended, but that a large portion of nurses were on the winning teams. So I thought, nurses must have the practical knowledge by which to create really great health care solutions.
