Hospital managers use digitized technology to help streamline processes that the hospitals would otherwise have difficulty completing alone. However, how do we keep employees up to date with the latest software? They are, of course, here to treat patients. Not to deal with technology.
Hospital Management Tips
Hospital computer software can be bewildering for the employee who has historically relied on more manual processes. Providing resources to employees can help only as much as employees will use them. Primarily, how can the hospital manager incentivize his employees to use and become accustom new technology?
1. Reward high personal performance

- Goal Oriented Rewards
- Praise Reward Mechanisms

Hospital staff, like all staff, respond to labor reward factors.
