The attached examples for flyers and other communication pieces can be used “as is” or can be modified to
meet your specific needs.
Don’t be afraid to add your own creative ideas, come up with your
own “mascot” or change the wording.
The only thing that cannot be altered is the BrightIdeas Manager
logo.
Have fun creating new communication tools. And, don’t
forget to make Bright Ideas fun for your employees.

SUBMIT A BRIGHT IDEA TODAY!!
Submitted by (drum roll): Mary Smith!Mary is an Intake
Coordinator in our ER. Her implemented idea:
BENEFITS OF THIS BRIGHT IDEABetter communication between our
customers and our staff.
More exposure for our nurse advice line to people in the community.
Mary’s Bright Idea earned her a $50 gift certificate to _______________. Congratulations Mary!
Often people call the Emergency Room seeking assistance by describing their symptoms over the phone. They do not know that ER staff cannot review their symptoms by telephone.
In the future, our staff should explain this and tell the callers that they are being transferred to the nurse advice line.
Staff should be sure that this is clear before transferring the callers so that the caller does not think that they are being given the “run around.”
In addition, this process is a free and excellent way to advertise our nurse advice line.
Getting a Bright Idea implemented is a team effort. Next time your team gets together, ask, “What have we heard a customer complain about or wish for today?
Think “Cost-Saving” Bright
Ideas! We need two more ideas to reach our goal this quarter– and win a
pizza party!
Wattson says, “Know how easy it is to come up with
a Bright Idea?”
All you have to do is ask yourself. . .
Is there a better, smarter, more cost-effective way to do this?
What could be simplified or done quicker?
What process could be made safer?
What techniques or strategies do other departments use that we could use also?
You get the idea. Now turn on your bulb and get those Bright Ideas
shining!
