Building off of the success of the “Your Big Idea Innovation Tournament,” Penn Medicine will embark on the “Your Big Idea Challenge.” This program will focus on finding opportunities to be more efficient while continuing to excel in patient care, teaching and research. All ideas will be reviewed and validated for their potential of implementation. As in last year’s Tournament, there will be some prizes for those who submit ideas, such as tickets to the Phillies or theater. Last year we had over 1,200 people who submitted ideas and we are sure that we can match that this year.
