Monetary awards for reporting medication errors

Does anyone have a program in place that utilizes potential monetary rewards for submitting medication or patient safety reports? For example, a random drawing each month for everyone who reports or a small monetary award each month for the "best" report.

I've been unable to locate anything in literature that shows impact of these types of reward systems on reporting.

Thanks,
