AbstractHealthcare delivery is evolving rapidly with an increasing emphasis on the concept of "value." At the same time, neurosurgeons are disproportionately working in employed positions where external definition of value becomes directly linked with compensation, work environment, and career satisfaction. Few neurosurgeons have an understanding of the various ways in which value is and can be defined and there are limited resources to assist in this realm. This paper covers the essential value concepts of National Standards, Pitfalls of National Standards, Call Coverage Compensation, Valuation Through Demand, Value Beyond Productivity, and Neurosurgical Value in the Accountable Care Organization Era. This framework should help neurosurgeons better understand critical trends impacting practice across the country.Copyright © 2017 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons.
