Payment and hours of service benchmarks for medical directorships are available from several sources. However, in today’s health care environment, facilities need physicians for a number of reasons, and it can be difficult to convince a physician to give up time to sit on a committee, serve as a medical staff officer, train for CPO or EHR, help with peer review or participate in quality initiatives. Establishing a fair and compliant payment rate for a position that does not need a particular type of specialist can be a challenge!
What is the Best Payment Method for Non-Clinical Administrative Contracts?
Hourly payment rates may not be the best method to pay for one-time events or short-term assignments like training, meeting attendance, or task forces. Per meeting payments or monthly stipends may be easier to administer than keeping and submitting time records for some initiatives or training sessions. If the per meeting payment is reasonable, the need for a one-off time card may not be as crucial if minutes or other records of participation are kept.
