Is your organization effectively tracking and reporting on APP productivity?
Dive deeper into the latest APP benchmarks on work RVUS, collections, patient visits and more!
As health care organizations look for ways to better utilize and retain their advanced practice providers (APPs), effectively measuring and projecting the clinical productivity of this workforce is imperative. There are several challenges when it comes to tracking individual productivity – especially for those working in inpatient and surgical settings. According to SullivanCotter’s APP Compensation and Productivity Survey, 97% of organizations are able to track individual performance of APPs in the ambulatory setting compared to only 65% in the inpatient setting.
Reliable and consistent productivity metrics are important for organizations to appropriately set work effort expectations and reward high performance.
SullivanCotter’s suite of APP workforce surveys provide insight into APP productivity data and ratios, collections, physician-to-APP staffing ratios, and work expectations. Participating organizations include independent hospitals, health systems, academic medical centers and more.
