Paying for a Crisis: The UPMC-Highmark Split Now Affects Doctors from the Editorial Board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"During the smoke and haze of Pittsburgh's industrial heyday, employers had a term for it. In the foundries and metal shops, they called it piece work. It was a way to compensate workers based on the number of units they produced or the number of actions they performed. Whether they were finishing sheets of tin or turning wooden spindles, laborers at the time of Carnegie and Frick were often paid by the piece. Who would have thought, generations later, that their descendants' physicians would be compensated largely in the same way?"
