Physician Compensation Training Seminar, Chicago

September 29, 2015 - September 30, 2015

IS YOUR HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION PREPARED TO EFFECTIVELY MANAGE PHYSICIAN COMPENSATION IN A STRATEGIC, EFFICIENT AND REGULATORY-COMPLIANT WAY?

The rapidly changing health care environment has resulted in a significant shift in the way organizations are aligning with physicians.

such as:

  • What are the key benchmarks for measuring physician compensation, productivity and benefits?
  • How much are organizations paying for quality today and what types of quality metrics are being used by leading health care organizations?
  • What are the key regulations affecting physician compensation today?
  • How do recent court cases and advisory opinions affect physician compensation governance and compliance processes?
  • What steps should be taken to make sure physician compensation plans are consistent with fair market value?
  • What impact does the repeal of the Sustainable Growth Rate have on physician reimbursement today and tomorrow, and what should be done to prepare and align physician compensation programs?
  • What are the key market trends in physician compensation today and what compensation and benefits practices are effective in this transitional environment?
  • What are the most important steps and strategies to understand during the physician compensation plan design process?
  • What types of compensation plans are being used to help shift compensation from volume to value?
