Maimonides Medical Center Residents Approve Bonus Payouts for Cost-Cutting and Quality Care

Residents at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn voted last Friday to approve a three-year contract that includes a cumulative 12 percent salary increase and potential bonus payouts for physicians who improve quality care and efficiency, according to a Crain’s New York Business report.

According to the report, the raise should make the hospital a better competitor in attracting residents. The incentive program for quality improvement, which is new this year, would allocate $750,000 for a bonus pool payable to residents who help with cost-cutting and quality measures.

The program is expected to base bonuses on reduced clinical wait times, less overuse of lab tests and other financial and quality measures. The program is patterned on a similar program for residents at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center.

Residents also voted to approve salary increases of 2 percent every six months and improved benefits to offset the costs of medical education.
