Employed Physicians
Posted by: Barry Goettsch at 9:05PM EST on January 27, 2009
The material states that motivating employed physicians to produce has been found to be challenging; to say the least I would agree.  For those of you in HCOs that employ physicians, what mechanisms have you employed to motivate these providers?  Bonuses don't seem to have a considerable effect with all.
Satisfaction
Posted by: Barry Goettsch at 9:00PM EST on January 27, 2009

I very much believe in the concept of physician, Nursing, and staff satisfaction.  These team members are the most critical asset a HCO has.  However, the differences in what achieves satisfaction for one group can sometimes come into conflict what satisfies another.  Can anyone provide any advice to how this balance can be best achieved?  I have had someone tell me, "do what ever satisfies the physicians".  Yes, to a degree but there must be a better way.  Thanks for any direction. 

Also, If anyone is part of a Magnet hospital, could you please share with me how the process to become a Magnet hospital went and what benefits has it yielded?
