Workforce Compensation and Performance Improvement Resources

As some organizations are transitioning back into the office, hospitals and health systems need to rethink which employees can and should work remotely, what these arrangements should look like, and how they should be paid.

Due to recent changes to the Physician Fee Schedule regarding modifications to billing for split/shared visits, many physicians and advanced practice providers are facing significant workflow changes.

As health care consumerism takes hold, technology evolves, and the industry continues to prioritize value-based care delivery, the definition of “work” for physicians has changed — and the ways in which physicians are compensated have evolved as well. An often-overlooked form of physician compensation, however, is the benefits received through Management Services Organizations (MSOs) and Management Services Agreements (MSAs).

The acquisition of Clinician Nexus deepens the firm’s technology talent and enables the creation of two separate entities focused on serving different needs within the health care industry and not-for-profit sector. SullivanCotter will continue to offer market-leading consulting and advisory services while Clinician Nexus will provide workforce and compensation management technology as well as automated workflow solutions designed to support each stage of the clinical workforce lifecycle ꟷ from planning and training to measuring, rewarding, and driving performance.
