Cardiovascular Executives Report High Compensation, According to Tyler And Company

Cardiovascular administrators employed by academic medical centers enjoyed the highest average compensation in 2006; those with community teaching hospitals had the highest median compensation, report executive recruiters at Tyler & Company.

According to the new compensation survey, conducted in cooperation with the American Academy of Medical Administrators (AAMA) and its specialty group, the American College of Cardiovascular Administrators (ACCA), compensation of cardiovascular (CV) administrators by facility type showed a wide variance, from a low of $56K to a high of $207K.

Community hospital CV administrators reported a $105K average compensation, $100K median. Those with community teaching hospitals report $116K average and $115K median. Academic medical center CV administrators indicate $120K average, with $108K median compensation. There were insufficient responses from freestanding heart hospitals, health systems or physician practice staff to draw effective comparisons.

Seventy percent of respondents were bonus eligible. Of those, 72 percent received a percentage of base; 29 percent received a flat amount based on other criteria.

Reimbursement issues headed the list of cardiovascular administrators' top ten concerns for 2007, according to survey results. In order of response, the leading issues concerning cardiovascular professionals are:

1. Reimbursement
2. Staff Recruitment and Retention
3. Technology
4. Cost Management
5. Competition/Market Share
6. Volumes/Growth
7. Physician Relationships
8. Quality
9. Regulations
10. Pay for Performance
