CoxHealth today held its second annual Innovation Accelerator.
Through the accelerator, 50 CoxHealth employees were scheduled to submit growth ideas for the health system from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The eFactory downtown. Each employee has a minute to present their ideas, according to a news release.
Employees will pick the top five to seven ideas to be reviewed and refined by local business coaches, who also serve as CoxHealth board members. They are:
• Chuck Chalender, agent with American Family Insurance;
• Kurt Hellweg, chairman of International Dehydrated Foods and American Dehydrated Foods;
• Jim Hutcheson, president of Jim Hutcheson Realtors Inc.; and
• Bob McDowell, owner of McDowell Consulting LLC.
Groups of employees will then tomorrow present the top ideas to CoxHealth leadership, which will pick a winner. The winning idea, as well as others suggested, may be implemented throughout the CoxHealth system.
Last year’s winning idea — offering delivery service to health system employees through the CoxHealth Pharmacy — already has been launched, according to the release.
