Dal risvolto di copertina interno

The issue of how to compensate physicians is the critical key for any health care or managed care organization that wants to succeed in health care delivery. This controversial decision includes a wide range of complicating factors, all of which must be considered, including:

• Personal goals and individual perceptions
• Profitability
• Patient care
• Reimbursement methodology
• The need for timely and accurate information

While the above remain solid factors in physician compensation modeling, the constantly shifting framework of the United States? health care delivery system?as well as the added pressure of an aging population?necessitate revisiting and revising traditional methodologies. And while government is aware of the need for reform in this area, it is the private sector that has proven the leading force for change.

Physician?s Compensation addresses the issues surrounding this controversial topic and guides readers through the process of identifying resources, tools, and models to offer all involved the opportunity to participate in and develop the appropriate plan.

As this illuminating, clarifying, and practical handbook illustrates, physician compensation is more than money. It is a powerful strategic tool that, when properly utilized, empowers and motivates individual physicians and, in turn, their practices, placing the ultimate rewards where they belong?with the patients.
