The salaried PM&R physician.
Joline E Brandenburg, Jeffrey S Brault
PMID 39973582WHAT IT FOUND
No patient outcomes are reported.
This review and physician perspective does not provide evidence to change therapy practice.
What this paper is
This is a narrative review and physician perspective on salaried payment models in physical medicine and rehabilitation. It describes compensation structures and personal experiences of academic practice, but reports no methods, no patients, no outcomes, and no comparative results, so there is no finding here to change your practice.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read the positive physician accounts as evidence that salaried models improve patient care. The paper reports no patient outcomes.
