Medicine and money: an approach to compensating university physicians.
Academic medical centers have been restructuring faculty compensation plans because decreasing clinical revenues have created budgetary problems. We propose an overall compensation strategy designed to reward high performance of university physicians. The approach incorporates Management by Objectives to improve communication of expectations within the organization and provide college of medicine leadership with much needed mechanisms to align faculty compensation with productivity.
