UMass Memorial Health unveiled how it migrated a paper‑based idea‑capture system into Kexus’s digital “Innovation Station,” celebrating its 100,000th improvement suggestion on Jan. 25, 2022. The rollout covered 16,000 caregivers across hospitals and clinics in western Massachusetts. The initiative began in FY13, but a 2020‑2021 digital conversion added standardized boards, customizable team panels, and automated tracking. Leadership defined adoption as every team member having an account, submitting a first idea, and customizing their board, driving participation from a 20% baseline toward a 50% target, now at 40%. CEO Dr. Eric Dixon framed the effort as building an “army of problem solvers” to fulfill the system’s true‑north goal of being the best place to give and receive care. Engagement tactics included a space‑themed marketing campaign, a baby‑pool contest to guess the 100k milestone, and a clinical team’s simple daily staffing huddle that became the 100,000th idea. By embedding grant programs, A3 templates, and DEI initiatives into a single platform, UMass Memorial turned idea generation into a measurable, organization‑wide improvement engine. The model shows how health systems can harness frontline talent, improve transparency, and accelerate operational change at scale.
