The Actionable Innovation Day (AID) Approach: An Option for Driving Healthcare Innovation (Preprint)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Innovation is essential to address healthcare challenges like resource limitations, overcrowded emergency departments, healthcare provider burnout, and more. Implementing innovation in healthcare faces barriers, including resistance to change, lack of multidisciplinary communication and alignment, resource constraints and more. The Actionable Innovation Day (AID) approach was developed to address these barriers, creating a model for distilling multidisciplinary, immediately applicable, consensus-based recommendations for actionable change. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> To evaluate the Actionable Innovation Day (AID) model as a structured approach for fostering multidisciplinary collaboration and generating actionable, system-level healthcare innovations. To assess the feasibility and impact of the AID model in identifying and prioritizing practical, low-cost solutions for improving critical care coordination, patient-centered care, and AI integration. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> Stakeholders, including multidisciplinary healthcare workers, administrators, patient partners, and industry participants within the Eastern Ontario region were invited to a first regional AID event focussed on acute and critical care. Conducted both in-person and virtually, AID featured (1) morning presentations from individual presenters offering recommendations, and (2) afternoon problem-oriented small-group breakout sessions to explore regional critical care solutions. Actionable recommendations were generated, and later rated with a 5-point agreement Likert scale (with email follow-up survey). </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> The regional AID event had 57 participants, including 16 multidisciplinary leaders offering a total of 42 recommendations. Each small group generated 5-8 recommendation, synthesized in discussion and analysis, leading to 28 recommendations were generated across four domains: Innovation in Healthcare, Regionalized Care, Critical Care Practices, and AI in Healthcare. 49 (86%) participants responded to the post-event survey, rating their level of agreement. 23 (82%) recommendations had a score > 4. Top recommendations included fostering partnerships between research, industry, and healthcare (Rating: 4.50/5), involving families in patient physical therapy in ICU and in home rehabilitation (4.46), and establishing centralized critical care coordination (4.44). </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> The AID approach emphasizes multidisciplinary and multilevel input, incremental and sustainable change, and practical, low-cost solutions, aligning with the Agile Innovation framework. This approach provides an optional model for coordinating meeting to catalyze innovation. </sec>

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
