Health care is undergoing a transformation. As the industry becomes increasingly complex, organizations must develop a better understanding of what drives physician performance in order to stay ahead of the curve.
Engaging physicians in the transition from volume- to value-based care is critical, and aligning physician and APP compensation with an organization’s mission and strategic performance objectives is necessary to drive change and deliver long-term, sustainable results.
Organizations that partner with SullivanCotter gain access to experienced health care consulting teams, leading research on all aspects of physician total compensation and rewards practices, and insights that support organizational change.
