Hospitals And Health Systems
Health care systems often develop medical director arrangements on an ad hoc basis as the relationships between the system and particular specialists evolve. Because these arrangements can differ greatly from specialty to specialty in compensation and responsilbilities, they can raise significant issues from a regulatory perspective. For example, issues may arise regarding why one doctor receives higher compensation than another for seeminly similar roles. Many systems would benefit from a standardization of such relationships. This article provides guidance on a method and process for standardizing such relationships.
