One of the reasons for the hike in compensation is the increase in hospitalist productivity; hospitalists are being recognized for their value in other arenas, as it relates to the transition from the fee-for-service to pay-for-value-type models, championing effective transitions of care, leading process improvement teams, etc. Another reason for the rising trend in pay is the fact that the demand for hospitalists has exceeded the supply.

Another potentially significant variable that could strongly impact the future trends in the Hospitalists’ salary is the drastic healthcare reforms and regulations sweeping the industry.
