SHM's Annual Survey is Now Open!
Upcoming Changes in SHM's Survey Process
SHM and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) have enjoyed
very successful survey collaboration for the last two years. Working
together under a Survey Collaboration Agreement to jointly conduct
comprehensive annual surveys of hospital medicine groups, the two
groups have been able to provide an unprecedented amount of high
quality information for our members—data about hospitalist
compensation and productivity, but also about many other aspects of the
ways hospitalists and hospital medicine groups function. And while our
relationship with MGMA remains strong, all good
things must come to an end—or at least change considerably. To

2012 State of Hospital Medicine
survey
Survey Opens: January 16, 2012
Early Participation Deadline: February 10, 2012
Survey Closes: March 9, 2012
For 2012, the survey will be divided into two components.
Compensation and productivity data for non-academic hospital medicine
practices should be submitted to MGMA via its Physician Compensation
and Production survey. Other information (such as was formerly included
in the SHM-MGMA Hospital Medicine Supplement to the MGMA survey) should
be submitted via the new SHM survey process. You
are strongly encouraged to
participate in both surveys.
