Designing a Hospitalist Compensation and Bonus Plan T2 Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine YR 2012 FD 2012 PB The McGraw-Hill Companies PP New York, NY SN 978-0-07-160389-8 LK accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=56192765 RD 2024/04/19 AB Hospitalist compensation can be thought of as consisting of two components: the amount of total compensation, including all elements such as base salary and bonus (sometimes referred to collectively as total W-2 wages); and the method by which it is earned.
