Ardent Health Services is bringing innovation in-house. The hospital operator has partnered with fellow Nashville-based SwitchPoint Ventures to launch an innovation studio focused on using data to create products that improve healthcare delivery and administration, according to a news release.

“Winnow’s AI solution has never been more needed than now, as our industry faces nursing shortages and physician turnover rates that are at an all-time high,” said Ardent CEO Marty Bonick.

“We believe that innovation stems from a growth mindset,” said Ray Guzman, CEO of SwitchPoint. “Our successful exit from Scout Insight is meaningful to us because it signifies that we created something powerful for our partner.”
