ABSTRACT Background The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's Next Accreditation System requires continuous program improvement as part of program evaluation for residency training institutions and programs. Objective To improve the institutional- and program-level evaluation processes, to operationalize a culture of continuous quality improvement (CQI), and to increase the quality and achievement of action items, the Wayne State University Office of Graduate Medical Education (WSU GME) incorporated CQI elements into its program evaluation process. Methods Across 4 academic years, WSU GME phased the following 4 CQI elements into the evaluation process at the program and institutional levels, including the annual program evaluation (APE) and the annual institutional review: (1) An APE template; (2) SMART (specific, measurable, accountable, realistic, timely) format for program and institutional goals; (3) Dashboard program and institutional metrics; and (4) Plan-do-study-act cycles for each action item. Results Action item goals improved in adherence to the SMART format. In 2014, 38% (18 of 48) omitted at least 1 field, compared with 0% omitting any fields in 2018. More complete action items took less time to resolve: 1.7 years compared with 2.4 years (t(43.3) = 2.87, P = .003). The implementation of CQI in the APE was well received by program leadership. Conclusions After leveraging CQI methods, both descriptions of institutional- and program-level goals and the time required for their achievement improved, with overall program director and program coordinator satisfaction.

Purpose Although managers agree that showing appreciation to their employees is important, many do not know how to do so effectively. Languages of Appreciation have been identified that uniquely convey that the recipient is valued when appreciation is expressed in the “language” they prefer. Moreover, a wide range of specific actions can be effective within a given appreciation language. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the top ten action items within each language of appreciation to discover the actions preferred most frequently by employees. Design/methodology/approach Of the over 200,000 individuals who have completed the Motivating by Appreciation Inventory, approximately 1% of respondents were randomly selected to represent each primary language (Words of Affirmation N = 1,000, Acts of Service N = 500, Quality Time N = 500 and Tangible Gifts N = 300). Respondents’ action item preferences were then tallied. Findings Numerous themes were identified, along with the most desired acts of appreciation within each language: Words of Affirmation: acknowledge when I have handled a difficult situation well; Acts of Service: offer to do some menial tasks that will allow me to focus on higher priorities for me; Quality Time: go to lunch together and not talk about business issues; and Tangible Gifts: gift cards (visa gift card or to favorite store/restaurant). Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to report on the specific actions most desired by employees within their preferred appreciation languages. The results can help inform actions that are most likely to be successful in showing appreciation to colleagues in the workplace.
