Excellence in Creative Ideas within a Team Environment
- EXCITE! Ideas
We don’t always know where it is. Chances are you don’t either. But your staff does. That’s right, the people on the front lines doing the work day in and out. Not only do they know where it is, they usually know what to do about it. They don’t bother to tell you though, because they think nobody cares about their ideas or opinions. Sadly, they are often right.
The truth is that your staff’s ideas can save you $100,000 and more, just for the asking. We’re so sure of it, we guarantee it!
CREATIVITY IN HEALTH CARE:
Ideas and a High Performance Culture
Creative thinking approaches that go beyond simple brainstorming are a powerful revenue generating practice for all health care organization. They should be an integral part of your organization.
Many of the best ideas on improving care, reducing costs and boosting revenues will come from your front line staff, because they are faced with these issues daily.
Once VIE Healthcare trains your staff in the science of creativity, you will never need to hire an outside consultant for profitability results again. You have a workforce with brilliant ideas, we know how to tap them. VIE Healthcare creates a process within your organization that teaches creativity, idea generation, and rapid implementation skills.
Teams of 10 12 staff members are taught innovation and creativity. After the needs of the organization are clearly outlined, we set the team loose in a facilitated Idea Program. The results: an informed list of immediate actions that your organization can implement to cut costs. Each session is guaranteed to produce cost savings ideas and revenue improvement ideas of over $100,000 for your organization.
In 2001 an American Airlines flight attendant, suggested a change in the procedure for handling coffee pots on air planes. His idea was implemented, and the savings were calculated at $788,000 per year. The catering department, the purchasing department and tens of thousands of other flight attendants had all over looked this cost saving idea.
An office worker at a branch of a national temporary place ment firm realized that seventy percent of the people who passed a test for literacy, numeracy, and computer skills, that her company was paying an outside vendor to adminis ter, later failed either the drug test or criminal background check. Her suggestion to reverse the order of the tests saved the company millions of dollars nationwide in unnec essary testing expenses.
