Just say no to linking patient satisfaction with dollars

I would have to disagree with these  doctors. How the hell are newer and better practices going to make it into clinical practice?  Something needs to be tried, especially in stroke rehab. My doctor should have not received any payment. It doesn't take much training to write a prescription of ET(Evaluate and Treat) to speech, physical and occupational therapists.

This is where if no goal/objectives are set at the beginning of the relationship/project you will never know when you have objectively met those requirements. I know this is the businessperson in me talking but I would like to have such a discussion when I start any relationship with my medical staff. None of my medical staff has ever asked what my goals are and for that reason would fail any satisfaction question.
