generated significant cost reductions.

more than funded the program, the results dramatically exceeded all
program objectives.

14. Challenges
With the continual pressures and unpredictability of regarding the Affordable
Care Act, hospital leaders were challenged with finding innovative ways
to improve financial performance while keeping front-line staff engaged in
the process and committed to the mission of this hospital
Solution
By deploying "Ideas At Work," the hospital provided a unique "gain sharing"
incentive to employees at all levels in exchange for cost reduction, as well as
improved patient-care ideas. Ideas At Work engaged staff at all levels to
generate ideas in return for award points that offered a variety of reward
options.
Result
In addition to engaging just over 50% of their employees, the hospital
achieved over 120% of their cost-reduction goals.
Further, an internal survey conducted after the program concluded, showed
a 31% improvement in overall job satisfaction measurements that were
attributed to participation and employee rewards.
