UTMG procurou alinhar a remuneração do fornecedor com as metas organizacionais por meio de um plano de compensação que enfatiza os cuidados baseados em valor. A UTMG precisava de um plano financeiramente sustentável que recompense os médicos para atingir e exceder as metas clínicas e não clínicas, equilibrando responsabilidades acadêmicas e administrativas. O plano prevê incentivos equitativos do médico, mantendo a sustentabilidade financeira do grupo médico. A compensação foi estruturada para garantir flexibilidade e continuação de serviços de alta qualidade que atendem às necessidades da comunidade em sistemas de saúde afiliados. ao longo do ano do plano. Um documento detalhado do plano de remuneração forneceu uma base e um recurso de governo para os médicos existentes e novos.

Huron Healthcare guided UTMG leadership and physicians through the design of a transparent, understandable, efficient, and organizationally aligned compensation plan. The plan provides for equitable physician incentives, while maintaining financial sustainability of the medical group. Compensation was structured to ensure flexibility and continuation of high quality services that meet community needs at affiliated health systems.

Key project components included the formation of a physician and administration led steering committee, facilitation of discussions around guiding principles, and a compensation tool empowering UTMG to calculate compensation throughout the plan year. A detailed compensation plan document provided a foundation and governing resource for existing and new physicians.

Transparency: By building a trusting relationship with physician leadership and department chairs, Huron helped UTMG achieve buy-in and bridge the gap between providers and administrators. A series of working sessions determined which structures would meet the needs of specific specialties and subspecialties.

Simplicity: Huron developed a tool that factors in key variables to help department chairs and operations directors model critical decisions. Key to the model’s success was its functionality and manageability. Huron worked to avoid overcomplicating the model with unreliable or inconsistent variables.

Efficiency: Huron designed and executed an implementation plan that included a milestone based project plan and adjustments to the decision-making tool. Thorough testing of the model ensured the plan was efficiently delivered and consistent with UTMG and UTHSC guiding principles. A confidential online provider survey tool was created to gather feedback from UTMG providers.

Accountability: To support accountability and measure sustained high performance, Huron implemented a monthly scorecard that provides real-time individual and department performance metrics to physicians.
