This will include market pay adjustments for a large portion of the organization’s workforce, according to an Oct. 5 news release from the organization.

“As we continue to experience the impact of the pandemic, we are extremely mindful of the current operational challenges that impact our team members,” said CEO Wendy Horton, PharmD. “We have prioritized compensation as essential to our operations, and the more than $30 million we are devoting to compensation is a significant budget increase from previous years.”

This is the beginning of a plan to retain and recruit staff. In January, the UVA Medical Center will complete another market review to investigate shifts that could further change compensation planning.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
