Abstract
This paper examines employee suggestion programs in the health care fi eld. Employee suggestion programs (ESP) work best to elicit new ideas, save money in this inflationary field, and yield substantial rewards to the employee who contributes valid suggestions. Employees' ideas an d efforts can make hospital programs thrive and help hospitals retain their ''distinctive competence''. Encouraging/rewarding suggestions ca n give hospitals their ''cutting edge''.
