Last month, the Nashville, Tenn.-based hospital chain released specifics of the 2013 pay packages. Richard Bracken, chairman of Hospital Corporation of America in Nashville, Tenn., made more than $16.5 million in 2013, while Milton Johnson, HCA president and CEO, earned more than $7.7 million.
Earlier this month, HCA’s compensation committee ratified the 2014 bonus program for the hospital’s top executives. Quality-of-care measures only represented a small portion of the potential payouts.
