Guest guest Posted April 13, 1999 Report Share Posted April 13, 1999 I can recommend two references: 1) The Pyramid: Old name of the Section on Administration newsletter Winter, 1992 is entirely on career ladders. 2) " Rehabilitation Clinical ladder and Performance Appraisal System for Occupational and Physical Therapists " which is a 3 ring binder book developed by the staff at Hartford Hospital Dept of Rehabilitation in Hartford, Conn. this dates from maybe 1993 or 94, but has an excellent format that one can adopt to their organization. I do not have the Hartford Hospital contact names or numbers, but one hopes they remain in business.Anyone from Connecticut on line? AnoAllan B. Trumbull, Director P.T. Mount Clemens General Hospital Mt. Clemens, MI 48043 atrumbul@... Staffing Models I have been given the opportunity to design a rehab compensation/staffing model for our newly formed health system. Has anyone designed and implemented a successful staffing model for PT, OT and SLP? I am specifically interested in recommendations on creating different " levels " of therapists which would allow for staff advancement. What criteria did you base the advancement/levels on? (level of education, certifications, research, continuing education, productivity, committee involvement, community programming???). Obviously, if compensation is different for a level-I vs a level-II therapist, the criteria must be very objective and measureable. How did you develop criteria that is applicable across all treatment environments (inpatient acute, medical rehab, outpatient, subacute, long term care...)? I'd love to hear your thoughts via the list-serve or fax to .

Guest guest Posted April 14, 1999 Report Share Posted April 14, 1999 A compensation and staffing system for a newly formed health system? That's a real project calling for a real consultant. If I need a dentist, I call a dentist. For taxes, an accountant... If I were in your shoes, I'd be calling one of the folks who have done that magnitude of project for a client company and arranging a retainer. There are a few here who have experience and are skilled at that sort of project.
