Developing a physician compensation plan.
Southern Ohio Health Services Network was founded in 1976 as a non-profit corporation to address the lack of accessibility to primary care physicians in four rural southern Ohio counties. The majority of recruited physicians are obligated to fulfill service obligations as a result of NHSC scholarships. Author Stephen Wilhide, M.S.W., M.P.H., describes how the organization improved its physician retention rate through a carefully devised compensation program.
