If you want to get a doctor to do anything, pay them

September 3, 2008

Information officers are paying physicians $120 per hour to participate in the implementation of electronic medical records.

That’s admirable, first for including essential physician input on the planning committee, and second, for recognizing the value of a doctor’s time.

It’s a message to Doctors to encourage their children to go into IT!

Small problem. The doctor’s gardener’s time is worth $120 an hour. The doctor’s time is worth $400 an hour.
