Health systems are facing growing challenges that require innovations tailored to what is needed in practice. By leveraging the central role of professionals and users in the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR; Breimaier et al., 2015) to initiate and implement change, we highlight the concept of micro-innovations. These local initiatives can potentially transform organizational practices. First is introduced a local micro-innovation that transformed end-of-life care through a protocol developed during the pandemic to protect both patients and their loved ones from COVID-19, to ensure emotional support in intensive care. Then, three participatory approaches are proposed to foster the emergence of micro-innovations: Design Thinking, Hackathons, and co‑creation with patients and family partners. To produce a real impact, these micro-innovations require organizational support. By actively valuing and supporting them, health systems can evolve in a more agile, inclusive, and sustainable way.
