physicians must dictate their cases the same day they perform them.
We monitor our dictation service reports daily. For each day they dic-
tate all of their cases on the same day, we enter their name into a
drawing. The doctor who wins the drawing spins the wheel to deter-
mine which prize will be awarded to his staff. The prizes are mainly
food: fruit and chocolate parties, cake, cookies, meals. Our docs like
the competition. We like the effectiveness. Since we started the
monthly drawings, in September, our same-day compliance has
increased by about 24%.
