The changing state of the industry requires new thinking when it comes to one of the most important and controversial components to physician employment – physician compensation. A flood of practice acquisitions and a growing level of physician employment have hospitals trying to find the right risk/balance for physician compensation in an effort to address rising investments. Furthermore, shifting payment models creates new challenges for both hospitals and physicians, particularly in how quality should be measured and factored into the compensation model.

Going beyond necessity, implementing a new physician compensation plan can be used as a catalyst for significant organizational change. Join us for a complimentary webconference to hear Eric Passon, Southwind Senior Vice President, discuss the value of a physician compensation plan redesign process that brings physicians and system leadership together in pursuit of a common vision.

Participants will gain from the webinar several key takeaways:

  • Guiding principles from Southwind’s experience redesigning physician compensation plans to improve the performance of hospital-sponsored physician enterprises across the country;
  • Key components of a practice evaluation and its importance in defining reality and determining strategic direction; and
  • Common physician concerns that must be recognized and addressed throughout the redesign and implementation process.
