Measuring the financial productivity of physician assistants.
The first formal physician assistant (PA) program began at Duke University 25 years ago, write David M.S., and Kenneth Harbert, M.H.A., PA-C. Since then, PAs have become widely utilized in the medical field, yet little has been done to measure their financial contribution. The authors provide a methodology and framework for groups to measure the financial productivity of their PAs.
