Performance Evaluations of Physician Executives. (Career Management)‪.‬

The staff at the American College of Physician Executives is regularly asked for help in finding performance evaluation forms for physician executives. We don't have them and I wanted to find out if anyone did. I interviewed six senior physician executives to see how they were doing or not doing performance reviews in their organizations. There seems to be a trend toward doing them, but it is in the beginning stages. Of the physician executives surveyed. the experience ranges from formal lengthy evaluations with rating scales to reviewing a short list of goals. Several are in the process of developing new systems or revising old ones. Probably the most useful part of a performance evaluation is the conversation between the physician executive and the person he or she reports to.
