Measuring retention
The next issue of ACP Hospitalist will feature a cover story about retaining hospitalists, which cites a national average of 13% turnover. That number comes from SHM surveying. But at a hospitalist roundtable here at the Medical Group Management Association, a woman who said she was involved in crunching the numbers (sorry, didn't catch her name) offered a little more explanation. She said that there are a lot of programs with almost no turnover, and another group with huge turnover, so the overall 13% figure can be a little deceptive. So if your program is nowhere near the average, on either end, you're probably not alone.
