量化医院医生的工作量可能是一个挑战。我们开发了一种新颖的方法，为在具有异构临床活动的大型系统中工作的医生提供公平和灵活性。在开发这个基于积分的系统时，预期的临床工作时间是根据全职工作时间计算的。根据工作的时间、复杂性和强度，为每项临床服务分配一个分值。根据预期的临床时间创建假设的工作时间表，并将其转化为全职临床医生所需的分数。教师们欣赏这种灵活性，并感到受到适当的重视和公平的报酬。我们的系统充当招聘工具，使该部门能够更好地了解资源需求并预测额外员工的需求。用于计算临床工作的基于点的模型的开发成功地创建了一个同质系统，用于在异构临床环境中定义和衡量医生的工作期望。
Quantifying the workload for a hospital-based physician can be a challenge. We developed a novel approach to providing equity and flexibility for physicians working in a large system with heterogeneous clinical activities. In developing this points-based system, expected clinical work hours were calculated for a full-time equivalent. A point value was assigned to each clinical service based upon the hours, complexity and intensity of the work. A hypothetical work schedule was created using the expected clinical hours and translated into points needed for a full-time clinician. Faculty appreciate the flexibility and feel appropriately valued and equitably paid. Our system serves as a recruitment tool and enables the division to better understand resource needs and predict the need for additional staff. Development of a point-based model for calculating clinical work has successfully created a homogeneous system to define and measure physician work expectations in a heterogeneous clinical environment.
