Lately in my work and conversations I’ve been reminded (again) of how misunderstood the metric “compensation per wRVU” is in our community. Not just within the provider population, but with our health systems and, most importantly, those who make contracting decisions. This fundamental disconnect is leading to very bad outcomes like pulling away the ability of cardiology groups to pool compensation in an employment environment. Getting our arms around what this metric is and isn’t is thus critically important. The following article, which was part of our 2017 Cardiovascular Provider Compensation & Production Survey report, should be helpful in explaining the metric compensation per wRVU.

National Nurses Week is coming up—Jacob Turmell helps us recognize and honor these very important members of our healthcare teams and communities.

Real and positive change is taking place in CV healthcare, as evidenced at the recent CV Transforum conference. Lori Walsh shares a few key takeaways and hot topics from several of the conference presentations. 

If you missed the MedAxiom CV Transforum Spring’18 conference in Ponte Vedra, FL last week, you missed a lot. While there was enough content to fill plenty of future blog posts, Joe Sasson will focus on two topics today: 1) The new MedAxcess database; and 2) An exploration of audience responses to survey questions posed throughout the conference.

At MedAxiom, we have always believed in leveraging the power of our CV community to succeed—no matter what. A perfect example of this is our CV Transforum conference, held twice a year for our members and CV industry partners to exchange ideas, and solutions.

When it comes to CV healthcare delivery, we know we can do it right. The question is: how can we redesign it so it is done right consistently?
