The Compensation Issue; 18th Annual Ambulatory Surgery Centers Conference — Improving Profitability and Business and Legal Issues

The July/August issue of Becker’s Hospital Review features:

1. Feature Articles on Compensation. Healthcare compensation has grown increasingly complex in recent years as more and more incentives are built into both executive and physician compensation. Non-profit hospitals seem to be criticized routinely by the public for the high levels of executive pay, while the hospitals argue the level of pay is necessary to attract the high level of talent needed to run these complex organizations. At the same time, the growth in physician employment has challenged hospitals to develop physician compensation formulas that encourage productivity, patient satisfaction and quality. Our annual Compensation Issue includes practical guidance and benchmarks for hospital executive compensation, 100 statistics on physician pay and on-call and medical directorship compensation rates and trends.

2. 65 Great Community Hospitals. This issue also features our annual list of community hospitals. Of the nearly 6,000 hospitals in the U.S. today, some 5,000 are community hospitals, according to American Hospital Association estimates. Becker’s Hospital Review’s annual list of great community hospitals recognizes some of these outstanding community facilities and the important role they play in communities around the country.

3. 18th Annual Ambulatory Surgery Centers Conference — The Best Annual ASC Business, Legal and Clinical Conference. Becker’s ASC Review’s 18th Annual Ambulatory Surgery Centers Conference — Improving Profitability and Business and Legal Issues conference will take place on Oct. 27-29, 2011, in Chicago at the Westin Michigan Avenue.
