  • Physician compensation models significantly impact group finances, organizational strategy, and member satisfaction.
  • Current challenges include aligning compensation with managed care, individual productivity philosophies, and available IT infrastructure.
  • A lack of systematic, evidence-based approaches hinders effective selection of compensation methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a framework for medical groups to systematically evaluate physician compensation alternatives.
  • To integrate research findings from physician profiling, benchmarking, and compensation theory into practice.
  • To present a production-based compensation model as an example for evaluation.

Main Methods:
