Re: Logical (Canadian) Incentives in Physician Payments

Hi! At Cleveland Clinic they are salaried, with bonuses. Then a Chair reviews your patient load. Some very good doctors left because the time squeeze left them unable to truly care for their patients. There are perks and pitfalls to whichever road you choose. God bless, Alice

Hey Folks,

In a hurry here but here is a link to a most logical artical from Canadian Research that says if you want docs to work more hours to help off set the shortage of docs and get good patient care like Daaaahhhh: Pay them by the HOUR!!!! Like what a freakin' Light Bulb Idea.... Pay folks for the real time and efforts the put forth and then they will tend to work more hours..... Instead of ripping them off by not paying for all their time spent dealing with all that comes with their job..... Genius, Flippin' Geniuses. Now of course we'll never get anyone except for a few " Chicken Farmers " (Buck Buck) ala Perdue and company to engage in anything as common sense as all that here in America, now will we????

That is because the doc is still involved with a third party administrator!

Get docs out of third party contracts and costs will decrease but care will

increase.
