Work redesign calls for new pay and performance plans

Article Abstract:

Hospitals are changing their management systems to support teamwork among self-directed, multi-skilled, cross-functional employees. The old system of rewarding personal achievement needs to be modified to encourage teamwork in a patient-oriented environment. Entire teams may receive performance rewards, instead of individuals. Examples of hospitals with innovative systems include Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center, Chicago, which is participating in a study of work system reorganization.

Article Abstract:
