“Executive compensation is set by St. Luke's Boards of Directors and is reviewed annually. Compensation levels are based on an independent analysis of comparable pay packages offered at similar institutions across the country, with the goal of placing executives in the 50th percentile in aggregate of those surveyed. These surveys are usually done annually. St. Luke's Health System is committed to providing the highest quality medical care to all people regardless of their ability to pay. To keep that commitment, St. Luke's puts a great deal of time and effort into recruiting and retaining the top physicians in a variety of medical fields. Our relationships with physicians range from having privileges at the hospital to full employment. For those physicians who choose to be employed, St. Luke's must offer competitive pay and benefits. Physician compensation is based on a range of criteria and can be influenced by a number of variables including: -Community need for medical specialty -Experience -Productivity -Geography -National surveys adjusted for local conditions -Willingness to serve regardless of patients' ability to pay -Duration of relationship and contractual terms -Performance on quality metrics To ensure physician compensation and benefits remain within industry standards and legal requirements for not-for-profit institutions, St. Luke's has a Physician Arrangements policy that specifies circumstances requiring a third-party valuation and also periodically uses third-party consulting firms to review St. Luke's physician compensation arrangements. Given the growing national shortage of physicians, recruiting and retaining physicians is more critical than ever to guarantee that people seeking care at St. Luke's will continue to have access to the physicians and specialists they need regardless of their insurance status or insurance provider.”
