Effectively Recruit Surgeons without Promising Block

Recruiting qualified surgeons takes more ingenuity than ever before. While signing bonuses represent the traditional ‘gold standard’ of negotiating new surgeon contracts, what an accomplished candidate really wants is guaranteed block time. However, promising a finite block schedule to individual surgeon's is both flawed and mathematically improbable.

• How predictive and prescriptive analytics may be able to help with your surgeon attrition rates and recruitment efforts
