title: Project Wildfish: rewarding through innovation.
abstract: The appropriateness of a reward system depends, in part, on the developmental level of the staff. Based on a model developed at Shadyside Hospital, Pittsburgh, PA, called the Transformational Model for the Practice of Professional Nursing, we have determined that the potential for innovation becomes a highly valued reward for a healthy, well-developed nursing unit. Project Wildfish illustrates the energy, commitment, and enthusiasm that innovation can inspire.
