Supplementary notes

Original question: "If Salary Plus Production Bonus, on Which Types of Metrics was the Bonus Based? (Of 1,327 Searches Offering Salary Plus Bonus)"
Note: multiple responses possible.
RVU = relative value unit. RVUs reflect the relative level of time, skill, training and intensity required of a physician to provide a given service. RVUs therefore are a method for calculating the volume of work or effort expended by a physician in treating patients. A well patient visit, for example, would be assigned a lower RVU than an invasive surgical procedure. Given this relative scale, a physician seeing two or three complex or high acuity patients per day could accumulate more RVUs than a physician seeing ten or more low acuity patients per day. “Work,” rather than number of patients or billings, is the behavior being measured and rewarded.
