CEOs at non-profit integrated health systems saw a median 3.2 percent boost in their base salaries this year, down slightly from a 4 percent increase last year, according to consulting firm Hay Group's 2012 healthcare compensation study.

Similarly, hospital CEOs received a 3 percent salary raise in 2012, which was down from a 5 percent increase in 2011.
