• Subsidy vs. Competition

• Mission based, asset managed, business intelligence models

• Faculty evaluated and paid on productivity in clinical, education and research arenas

RBRVU - RVU

• RVUS – units that quantify work, practice expense and malpractice costs for a physician service to establish payment

• Harvard School of Public Health 1988 – charged to quantify physician work product

• Most clinical services have a billing code and assigned RVU, 52.5% work, 43.6% expense and 3.9% malpractice

• $37.89 – conversion factor – Medicare Rate

RVU Based Reward - Advantages

• Clean and based upon work performed

• Not based upon amount billed and collected

• Same effort treating patients in all financial classes

• Comparison to national benchmarks

• Applicable to incentive and bonus plans

Page 8: Benchmarking Academic Enterprise Robert Belsole M.D. Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs.

RVU Based System - Disadvantage

• Teaching and research missions

• Clinical grants and contracts

• Hard salary support – state, hospital etc

• Ancillary Services

• Administrative duties

• Expense ratios

Page 9: Benchmarking Academic Enterprise Robert Belsole M.D. Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs.

AIMS Salary Requirements - Clinical

• RVU – equal or exceed 75th percentile MGMA (academic) for specialty (or equivalent)

• Aggregate Sum

1. net collections

2. E&G allocations

3. Professional Service Contracts

4. Clinical Research Revenue

5. Consultations, CPE and Other

• RVU Threshold for patient care activities

• Aggregate $um>>>>base salary + benefits +malpractice insurance (after group and department expenses)

DISCUSSION

• Faculty performance can’t be based upon RVU work and expense ratios. Not enough patients and expenses are too high

• State ($14 million) and Non Patient Service Contract ($31 million) revenues needed in the equation

• College wide minimums are difficult to apply to Clinical Performance since “base” is not defined equally by all departments

Page 22: Benchmarking Academic Enterprise Robert Belsole M.D. Vice Dean for Clinical Affairs.

AIMS – Clinical Criteria

• Every Faculty member needs a defined assignment, a portion of which is Clinical Performance

• Clinical faculty should justify their base and incentive salary on RVU’s (75%MGMA, academic, by specialty), collections and a portion of hard money.

• Clinical FTE income derived from clinical revenue should be based upon a 55% (UMSA) and 45% (Faculty) split.

• All clinical, educational and research corporate expenses need to be defined and subjected to the same standards as applied to the faculty

• A complete analysis would also evaluate the contribution of the state to the clinical, educational and research missions.

TRUE AIMS SYSTEM

• We have – rvu’s, billing, collections, patients, clinics, procedures

• We don’t have - true clinical, education and research expense in corporate and state systems

• We need – expense/rvu

expense/$collected

expense/patient encounter
