Physician Compensation in a Value-Based Environment Challenges How do we define value and what types of behavior are we going to reward? By putting more physician dollars at risk, how do we maintain competitive wages for our physicians? In rewarding value, what s the proper distribution between incentives and penalties? With 90%+ of our reimbursement still FFS, how do we pay for value when we are not getting paid for value? What percentage of total compensation should the incentive or withhold represent? How do I measure a return on our technology investments to track value and how doimanageallthis data? With so many quality measurements, how do I pick which attributes to monitor? 2016 Cardiology Preferred Specialty Measure Set 10
