Physician Compensation Review & Design

Integrated Healthcare Strategies is the leading physician compensation firm in the nation. You can count on us to carefully audit, design and implement a total physician compensation plan that works for your organization and for your physicians. In fact, we maintain a database of more than 1,000 physician compensation arrangements.

Our Physician Services practice will analyze your organization's current and future physician compensation spending. We then compare that expense to your overall goals, working with you to fix any inequities and correct any losses. The result is an enhanced physician compensation plan that not only satisfies your key physicians, but improves your bottom line — and even your quality of patient care. It's the best investment you can make in a new, or existing, physician affiliation.

How can you reward your physicians for the quality of their clinical care as part of their total compensation package? With the increased use of "pay for performance" models by third party payers and the government's recent Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI), having compensation systems that both measure and reward clinical performance and outcomes is a critical component of any physician compensation plan.

Integrated Healthcare Strategies has worked with many healthcare organizations to structure compensation programs that reward physicians for their efforts in improving clinical performance. We have developed clinical quality compensation systems for all types of physicians and have implemented measures that range from patient/physician satisfaction — to improved quality of care — to clinical protocol adherence and much more.

If you are considering a compensation program that includes payment for qualitative outcomes, and not just individual physician productivity, then you need to call Integrated Healthcare Strategies to ensure that you are developing a system that is measurable, manageable and ultimately improves patient care while improving your bottom line.
