He suggested hospital boards base CEO compensation on factors that are in the public’s interest, such as patient/staff satisfaction, reducing readmission and being part of the broader community.
“My bet is that if you ask the customers, you would get some interesting ideas [for setting executive compensation],” Mr. Zwarensteyn wrote.
