title: Positive feedback spurs process improvements.
abstract: Motivate your staff to strive for excellence by clearly establishing optimal standards of care and then rewarding and recognizing your top performers. Identify "excellence", using standards such as core measures from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Post pathways on the department bulletin board to make sure all your staff members are aware of what they are striving for. Reward those who achieve excellence with creative gifts, and publicly recognize them within the department.
