SullivanCotter recently released its 2011 Physician Compensation and Productivity Survey Report, which contains data from 424 healthcare organizations representing more than 66,000 providers.
The survey also found that 72 percent of physician compensation plans factored in physician quality. The amount of pay tied to elements such as quality and patient satisfaction is usually only 3-5 percent, but it is expected to increase to 7-10 percent over the next several years.
Other findings from the survey include the following:
• Sixty-five percent of respondents pay some type of call coverage to some physicians, which is up from 54 percent in 2010.
• Two-thirds of participants indicated they use non-compete agreements.
• Roughly 75 percent of respondents said they use hiring bonuses.
