Why pay individual physicians for emergency department call coverage when you don’t have to?Choosing the call physician compensation model that works best for your hospital is essential to strong hospital-physician alignment, as well as a healthy bottom line. But there are other options than paying physicians directly—and by the hour–for call coverage.
This 90–minute webcast, including Q&A, explores benefits of emerging models for call coverage and examine the scenarios under which each option would be the best fit. Our speakers, physician leaders from Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas and Providence Regional Medical Center, discuss the decision-making process—from examining the financial impact their model for call coverage––to factors that may affect which model your hospital or health system chooses—to achieving physician buy-in to ensure a successful implementation.
At the conclusion of this webcast, participants will learn:
