When comparing the data from 165 health systems and 607 hospitals whichparticipated in 2007 and 2008, base salaries have increased on average 5.0%and 5.2%, respectively. The increase in salaries is higher than the averageprojected 2008 salary increase budget, which was 4.0% for health systems and3.8% for hospitals. "These results are similar with the outcomes from lastyear's analysis," noted SullivanCotter Managing Principal Tom Pavlik. "Whilewe do not compile data on what impacts salary increases, the competition forseasoned, high-performing executives is likely a factor. It will beinteresting to see if next year's results are different considering theincreased disclosure from the new Form 990 for 2008."
