    GBA/GIP Virtual Programming: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back – The Complexity of Defining and Measuring Clinical Activity

    This webinar was originally presented as a session at the recent Group on Business Affairs (GBA) and Group on Institutional Planning (GIP) Joint Spring Meeting in April. Because of its popularity and timely focus, it was chosen to be put forth as part this year’s GBA/GIP Virtual Programming that the Groups co-host throughout the year. 

    Recognizing the need to better understand clinical effort definitions, especially as the pediatric specialty workforce has decreased, the Association of Administrators in Academic Pediatrics (AAAP) and American Medical School Pediatric Department Chairs (AMSPDC) began a partnership to help pediatric leadership groups across the U.S. and Canada. 

    After initial collaborative discussions in 2019, a demonstration project was launched to gain an understanding of institutions’ general definitions as they relate to overall full-time equivalent (FTE) expectations and how institutions interpreted and reported billable clinical FTE (cFTE). This session highlighted the process, the knowledge gained, and next steps in the journey to develop more accurate clinical work benchmarks.
