SullivanCotter, the nation’s leading independent consulting firm in the assessment and development of total rewards programs, workforce solutions, and data products for health care and not-for-profits, has released the latest benchmarks from this year’s suite of health care compensation and workforce productivity surveys. These industry-leading surveys provide critical data and insights to help health care organizations navigate complex workforce and compensation strategies in an evolving operating environment.

This year, SullivanCotter’s longstanding flagship surveys included participation from nearly 4,800 health care organizations nationwide and collected data on 2.9 million incumbents.

These surveys include:

• Health Care Management and Executive Compensation

For more than 30 years, this survey has been and continues to be the largest of its kind for health care organizations nationwide. It includes data from more than 3,300 organizations on nearly 48,000 individuals.

• Physician Compensation and Productivity

Tap into the industry's most expansive and detailed dataset with information from more than 500 organizations representing nearly 232,000 providers in 232 different specialties.

• Advanced Practice Provider Compensation and Productivity

Inform strategic decision-making across the APP workforce with critical benchmarks for physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other certified clinicians (CRNAs, CAAs, and CNMs) across more than 150 specialties. This survey includes data from 800 organizations on more than 150,000 incumbents.

• Health Care Staff Compensation

This comprehensive national survey contains data for 812 clinical and non-clinical staff positions within 20 different job families. Nursing makes up the largest subsection of this survey with data on nearly 900,000 individual RNs, LPNs, and nursing managers.

With participation from more than 90% of the nation’s largest 200 health care organizations, these surveys represent one of the most comprehensive sources of health care compensation and workforce benchmarks available. The results support data-driven decision-making in key areas such as executive and clinical leadership compensation, physician and APP productivity, market-competitive base pay for staff roles, and evolving compensation models across the care continuum.

“As the health care industry continues to adapt to financial pressures, workforce shortages, and shifting delivery models, organizations rely on robust, timely, and industry-specific data to make informed compensation decisions,” said Ted Chien, President and CEO, SullivanCotter. “Our survey results help health care leaders align pay practices with performance, support engagement and retention, and maintain competitiveness in a tight labor market.”
