The second of five articles is presented on results achieved by use of positive reinforcement techniques by a US hospital Medical Information Systems department.

The techniques used are described: recognise individuals; communicate effectively; show appreciation by gifts, cards, awards, etc.; find out what others′ real needs and complaints are – and visibly respond; give praise.
