Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 Liz, I am in the very beginning stages of something along this lines. The biggest issue I am having is objectifying the defined areas I would like to use (i.e. customer service, professional development, quality care, teamwork, staff development, etc.) I have found it's easy to look at these and say a person does those things but objectifying them to justify giving or not giving a bonus to one staff member over another is the challenge. I am using productivity merely as a gate to being bonus eligible. Meaning the staff need to meet a minimum productivity standard to be eligible, but can't increase a bonus by seeing more patients, as I feel this would compromise the patient care, but still felt from a business stand point that I didn't want staff to focus on receiving a bonus at the expense of running the business. It is a tight line to balance on but hopefully there is a way to balance the patient care and the bottom line. If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them, maybe we can brainstorm together if you want. Adam Adam Paris P.T.

A method that is successful for private practice? Liz Kiggins PT Quote

IMHO, if we fail to do this we are contributing to, and accelerating, the demise of our practice.
