patients did not receive all components of the mental health screening
• Select a person at the table to record ideas and report back to group
Ideas that “Just Happened”
• Anti freeze • Text messaging
• Thrown in as an after thought• No one expected it to be too useful
• Mouse (computer not this.… )
• AZT ( a failed anti-cancer drug)
The “Three Cs”
• Consider• Envision the idea• Look beyond analysis
• Compliment – never denigrate new thinking• Challenge
• Challenge the suggester to improve the idea• Involve “group think”

Involving Others
Promote the idea of creativity/interpretation • Challenge people to look at data, interpret it and then
offer suggestions for improvement• Maximize the number of innovation opportunities (high
degree of creativity rather then a lot of ideas
• Have a contest to encourage collaboration on creative ideas
Creativity Contest

patients did not receive all components of the mental health screening
