The Bright Ideas Manager™ was designed to empower employees at every level of your organization to share their “bright ideas” on how to better serve patients, each other and the community. This program tracks an idea’s progress as it goes through various channels within the organization. At any time, employees and/or leaders can view the status of any idea. Has it been passed from the Bright Ideas coordinator to a department manager? Has it been discussed in a board meeting? Was the idea implemented, and did it save the hospital money? The software can generate various management reports to track the success of the employee suggestion program or to review an individual department’s input or employee’s involvement. This software allows you to make implementing employee suggestions a measurable goal for everyone in your organization.
