“…It also fails to account for various laborintensive tasks that are not necessarily monetary but still essential for quality care (conducting fact-finding meetings; completing administrative forms; communicating with consultants; attendance in division or department meetings; conferences; grand rounds; morning reports; lecturing; mentoring of medical students, residents, and fellows; publications; weekly laboratory meetings; and institutional representation in national and international conferences).

“…With decreasing budgetary support from federal and state governmental authorities for both research and teaching, clinical dollars have become more important in providing the engine to drive the multiple missions required for an academic institution.

Whether it was even possible for more than a small number of productive and highly efficient individuals to achieve excellence in all three activities, the triple threat has in recent years become endangered.…”

Background: In an attempt to investigate physician compensation in academic practice, financial reimbursement models of departments and/or divisions of plastic surgery within an academic university setting were evaluated. Method: Thirteen divisions or departments of plastic surgery were surveyed to obtain information regarding reimbursement models for plastic surgery. Results: Of the 13 plastic surgery groups surveyed, 11 were divisions within the department of surgery. The department chairs/chief and/or chief administrative officers were questioned regarding the following areas: (1) total compensation, 2) bonus and incentive compensation models, and (3) cosmetic and cash reimbursement. There were no regional differences that could be identified. As such, we grouped institutions into Western, Midwest, and Eastern regions. COVID-19 did not change any of the financial models that were established before the pandemic. Discussion: There is no ideal model for compensation, which varied among the institutions surveyed. All of these financial models were established before COVID-19 and did not significantly change with the pandemic. It appears that within this small sample size, compensation is based mainly on a $/wRVU model. Funding for research and educational teaching remains a challenge, which is not reimbursed well. Although faculty compensation may vary based on the institutions, the decision to enter and remain in academic practice includes a series of decisions. However, compensation is a significant factor, which should not be minimized.

Revenue Generation and Plastic Surgery Training Programs: 1-Year Evaluation of a Plastic Surgery Consultation Service

The plastic surgery consultation service is a potential source of uncaptured revenue for training programs using indirect supervision of residents. Greater than 10,000 work relative value units could have been generated from resident clinical services, which is considerably more than the national average productivity of a full-time, academic plastic surgeon. Capturing a portion of this revenue stream could improve the fiscal balance of training programs and improve the cost-effective use of resident productivity.

Objectives Evaluate the readability of online English and Spanish cleft lip and palate patient education materials. Design Review of free online materials Setting English and Spanish language online patient education materials on cleft lip and palate were collected from American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) approved teams. Participants American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association (ACPA) approved teams Interventions English materials were analyzed using the Flesch-Kincaid, SMOG, and Coleman-Liau readability calculators. Spanish materials were analyzed using the Fry Graph, Fernandez Huerta, and INFLESZ calculators. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test for variability between the readability tools. Outcomes Readability levels were examined for both sets of materials. Results 171 (90.5%) teams provided English language materials online, with an average readability score calculated as 10.5 ± 2.9 (10th-11th grade). A total of 44 (23.2%) teams listed Spanish language materials online, with average readability score of 7.9 ± 1.2 (8th grade). ANOVA demonstrated statistically significant variability between the readability assessment tools ( P < .01). Conclusion Online cleft lip and palate patient education material provided by ACPA craniofacial teams were more available in English than in Spanish. Both sets of materials demonstrated readability levels above the recommended 6th-7th grade. Refining readability is associated with lowered healthcare costs and increased patient satisfaction.
