Case Study: Texas Health Resources achieves $2.6M in impact and 230 improvements with KaiNexus

Using KaiNexus To Manage a WorkOut

Texas Health Resources ran a 90‑day "WorkOut" to cut costs and meet its 2014 budget goals, asking Leadership Council participants to each identify two cost‑saving opportunities and log them in the KaiNexus system. Teams spent 30 days brainstorming and entering ideas, then 60 days implementing at least one idea using PDSA and kata methods, with assignments, coaching, and tracking managed through KaiNexus.

KaiNexus supplied a unified improvement‑management platform that structured work, routed notifications, captured ROI, and preserved institutional knowledge. The WorkOut produced $2.6M in total impact and 230 improvements—including $2,038,384 in recurring cost savings, $16,640 one‑time savings, $461,025 in recurring revenue, 373 hours saved per year, 10 quality improvements, and gains in patient and staff satisfaction—with 50 projects >$10k, 17 >$50k, and 5 >$100k in annualized savings; KaiNexus enabled leaders to track, report, and sustain these results.
