Until recently he was director of Private Patient Services, N.C. Memorial Hospital, Chapel Hill. A native of Hillsborough, Brown is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is married and has two children. NSRC's- experience in other hospitals helped shape the questionnaire which will be used here, but it has been tailor-made for Duke. Input From Duke Workers It was compiled with input from about 60 people at the medical center. At least one-third of these were bi-weekly employees. Peck said. The questions will be about subjects that directly affect Duke employees and their jobs. Semple and Peck both expressed the hope that there would be heavy participation and straight-forward, honest opinions. Vail pointed out that the larger the number of participants, the more accurate the picture one can get. And he added, "any time you ask someone a question, it's beneficial." Duke, through NSRC, will be asking each employee who takes part in the survey about 60 questions.
