Researchers surveyed more than 21,000 physicians and caretakers within 110 organizations.
Key findings of the survey include:
• While 91 percent of organizations continue to utilize physician production to determine physician compensation, non production-based metrics are being adopted rapidly. Quality is being used as a metric in 63 percent of organizations and patient satisfaction is being used in 47 percent of organizations.
• Retirement contributions averaged $17,524 per physician, driving up overall benefit costs to 16.3 percent of compensation, or $43,501 per physician.
• Health system-employed groups continue to allocate approximately 128 percent of collections to their physician entities.
