Enhancing Value and Well-Being The Basket of Motivators Framework for Aligning Neurology Clinical Practices With Performance Outcomes

 For stroke this is incredibly simple. Once the bleed is stopped or the clot removed any additional neurons that die, the hospital pays the patient $1000 a dead neuron and the doctors don't get paid at all. If the patient doesn't get 100% recovered the doctors and therapists don't get paid. Pay for performance will work! Painful at first but survivors don't care about your financial pain since you didn't care about their recovery since you got out of medical school.

Enhancing Value and Well-Being; The Basket of Motivators Framework for Aligning Neurology Clinical Practices With Performance Outcomes


  • Abstract

    Purpose of Review

    Physician burnout, which is prevalent in neurology, has accelerated in recent years. While multifactorial, a major contributing factor to burnout is a payment model that rewards volume over quality, leaving physicians overburdened and unfulfilled. The aim of this review was to investigate ways of reducing burnout while improving quality-based outcomes in a value-based health care model.

    Recent Findings

    Burnout affects researchers, educators, clinicians, and administrators in all fields and tracks, but neurologists experience some of the worst burnout rates among specialties. Transitioning to a value-based health care model, which rewards quality and outcomes over volume, may contribute to reversing the burnout trend. However, this requires that physicians feel valued in the workplace in ways corresponding to their preferences. We propose to stratify neurologists using the “basket of motivators” framework, which operates multiple individual-based and team-based motivators including balance among work responsibilities, work-life balance, institutional pride, self-actualization at work, work environment, and finances. By tailoring individual-based and team-based financial and nonfinancial incentives, neurologists are empowered to work at the top of their license to provide high-impact clinical care while combating the most prominent causes of burnout.

    Summary

    To address the neurologist burnout epidemic, a transition to value-based health care is needed that rewards quality-based performance outcomes through both individual-based and team-based approaches that apply financial and nonfinancial incentives. Understanding the underlying motivations behind neurologists' drives to work can inform tailored incentives that allow neurologists to provide value to their patients and feel valued by their organizations.
