4 COMPENSATION AND INCENTIVE PLAN Base Salary Base salary is set by the School of Medicine, in consultation with practice plan, based on University performance standards. Incentive Opportunity Minimum qualifying performance standards must be met to be eligible for participation in the incentive plan.

Performance incentives are department specific and reflect the departments objectives for the year. Adapted from University Physician, Inc., Baltimore, MD Minimum Qualifying Performance Standards. Manage the finances of the department/program to the all funds bottom line approved. Acceptable performance is: revenue greater than expense, or expense greater than revenue by % or less of the FAAC approved budget. Acceptable performance in the areas of academic, (e.g., faculty recruitment t and appointment process), and research ( e.g. research support to faculty and compliance with IRB and IACUC rules), administration determined by the dean s office 3. No university account deficits by fiscal year end 4. All department clinical long-term operational targets at C or better at fiscal year- end 5. Acceptable audit performance as determined by: Finance and Audit Committee for internal and external audit SOM for university and state audits 4

6 Cost & Productivity RVUs Models (goal set by Specialty Group) Bucket (Example) Linear (Example) $/RVU over a set RVU target (examples from readings) Where should the RVU target be set (compared to benchmarks)? How much ramp up time for new physicians? AreNon Physician Providers (NPPs ) RVUs includedin the measure? How is the target adjusted? Are you creating a system where RVU expectations may be different by MD within the group goal? Service & Quality What service & quality goals can be set at the physician, division, department level? Are they: Specific to the division s physicians? Measurable? Able to be tracked through current IT systems? 6
