The effective management of physician compensation is complex, requiring sophisticated interpersonal and technical skills. The Healthcare Data Analytics certificate program will provide healthcare leaders with a roadmap to design and implement compensation packages that support the practice’s mission. Benchmarking provides a means to assess the competitiveness of physician compensation. This certificate program will show attendees how to assess which benchmarks are needed for a compensation plan, as well as the practice’s goals and strategies. Through examples of quality management initiatives, attendees will learn best practices to design, implement and measure quality care initiatives that ensure patient safety and the consistent delivery of high-quality care.
This 3.5-hour program will provide you with the knowledge to:
- Establish a physician compensation plan that aligns with organizational goals
- Assess physician compensation plans via benchmarking tools
- Evaluate performance via analytical processes, such as Lean or total quality improvement programs
