What do I need to consider when designing an incentive plan in a Patient Accounts
office? - ANSWER Any incentive plan requires careful consideration by managers. A
successful plan should lead to improvements in production as well as morale and
motivation among employees who are eligible to participate and are successful.
Success should also be reflected in increased cash collection.
However, a poorly executed plan would be a very bad experience for those employees
who are not successful or cannot participate. If not carefully trained/monitored,
employees might get too aggressive in their collection practices and create negative
public reactions.
