Annual survey: executive compensation under fire

Compensation of health care executives has continued to grow, largely pushed along by such factors as continuing turnover in top management positions in hospitals, according to the 1992 Hay hospital management/professional survey of compensation and benefits data from over 1,200 U.S. hospitals. And although pay increases are moving up faster among top hospital executives than in industry, overall hospital executive pay still lags. In addition, survey results look at such issues as linking executive pay to various measures of performance.
