We describe the processes that we designed and implemented, ideas that these processes generated, and findings from interviewing employees about their experiences afterwards. Our findings suggest that the benefits of implementing innovation contests were multifaceted. To employees, the contests provided a platform to voice suggestions and participate in any aspect of the innovation process that they found interesting. To managers, the contests revealed real, empirical issues affecting operation and patient care based on frontline employees’ knowledge.
