Additional Elements Performance Narrative Yearly individual goals Advantages to a Merit Pay System Defining employee expectations (e.g., job descriptions, outcomes) Identifying productivity and financial growth through measurable outcomes Opportunities for new or better programs Providing managers and supervisors a tool for discussing employee behavior Increasing accountability Challenges to a Merit Pay system Subjectivity of some measures Consumer Satisfaction Survey may be based on unhappiness with diagnosis rather than clinical skills Behavioral measures Measurement of outcomes is not always sensitive to the complexity of the clients and is one of the biggest weaknesses of the system. Measurement tools are not always standardized Measurement depends on an adequate sample size Ongoing Modifications Currently considering competencies as a measurement of quality Adjustment of percentages based on benchmarks Input from Board of Directors Contact Information The Treatment And Learning Centers 2301 Research Boulevard Suite 110 Rockville, Maryland 20850 301-424-5200 Patricia Ritter, Ph.D., CCC/SLP [email protected] Emily Kinsler, CCC/SLP.D [email protected]
