Open to More Suggestions: 
Phase II Of `Teaming Up to Make a Difference' Soon Under Way
------------------------------------------------------------

   Your initiative, brainpower and participation have paid off big for
teams and the University during the first part of Jefferson's employee
suggestion program "Teaming Up to Make a Difference." Your ideas have
helped generate revenue and reduce costs significantly, to the tune of
more than $2.5 million in savings. And we're not finished yet.

   June 13 kicks off Phase II of "Teaming Up to Make a Difference."
Existing teams have another opportunity to contribute ideas and reap
rewards. In Phase II, which focuses on qualitative ideas and runs
through July 5, we're looking for ways to enhance satisfaction for
patients, visitors, physicians, students, employees and payers; improve
workplace safety; expand our educational services; and increase employee
effectiveness and efficiency.

   "Team members have done an extraordinary job so far in making a
difference in how Jefferson operates," says Frank J. Milewski, associate
vice president for management systems, "and I'm confident the second
half of the program will likewise result in great ideas."

   o Number of ideas submitted through May 30, 1994:        2,010
   o Total savings/revenue:                                 $2,533,785
   o Number of ideas under review by Evaluation Committees: 612
