SullivanCotter, the nation’s leading independent consulting firm in the assessment and development of rewards programs and workforce solutions for the health care industry and not-for-profit sector, has made adjustments and enhancements to its Provider Needs Assessment (PNA) services to better help hospitals and health systems as they build strategic workforce plans to support service line expansions, care team development, and population health initiatives, while managing for optimal cost and efficiency

A comprehensive performance assessment and improvement plan should be considered if your organization is not meeting the objectives of the Quadruple Aim, lacks an effective physician leadership structure, or requires adjustments to physician compensation to help drive desired outcomes.

A comprehensive review of current compensation practices can serve as the foundation for driving performance in an increasingly complex operating environment.

Featured in Fierce Healthcare, SullivanCotter’s President and CEO, Ted Chien, outlines the importance of utilizing robust data and benchmarks to build a more resilient workforce model that helps support the delivery of high-quality care and enhance financial sustainability.

Market pressures continue to test the financial sustainability of health care organizations nationwide. To succeed in a rapidly evolving marketplace, health systems, medical groups and physicians must work together to develop a more intentional and comprehensive affiliation strategy to help drive performance and improve outcomes.

With the appointment of Zachary Hartsell as the firm's APP Market Leader and the addition of new consulting talent Lacey Buckler and Hadley Powless, SullivanCotter continues to build out a team of highly specialized experts and industry leaders in APP workforce compensation, utilization, care delivery and workforce planning.

Health care organizations are in an ongoing workforce crisis, and they continue to struggle with high turnover, employee burnout, wage pressure and other recruitment and retention challenges – all of which have driven up the cost of labor, increased the competition for talent, and forced organizations to consider the relationships between workforce design, talent, compensation, and performance management.
