AMBULATORY
SURGERY CENTERS
As ASC leaders' salaries dip, so does satisfaction
S
alaries for ambulatory surgery
center (ASC) leaders are down
slightly, according to the OR Manager
2019 Salary/Career Survey, with
slightly more than half of respondents
(52%) earning $100,000 or more-
a decline from 60% in 2018, 54% in
2017, and 53% in 2016.
That dip may be contributing to corresponding
lower levels of satisfaction.
Although most leaders (74%) are satisfied
with their jobs, that percentage is
down from 77% last year and far below
the 83% reported in 2017. Satisfaction
with benefits continued its downward
trend, dropping from 69% in 2017 to
63% in 2018 and 58% in 2019. Satisfaction
with support provided by the
respondent's boss also decreased from
69% last year to 62% this year.
Here are some other survey highlights:
*
The average raise was 3.19%
(higher than the 1.9% increase in
the consumer price index for 2018),
lower than the 3.63% reported last
year and the 3.94% in 2017.
* Retirement plans will continue to
reduce the number of experienced
leaders, with 21% planning to retire
between 2019 and 2023, and 45%
expecting to retire before 2028.
However, that percentage is lower
than the 51% of respondents who
said last year that they expected to
be retired before 2027. The good
news is that more than half (55%)
About the survey
Data for the OR Manager Salary/Career Survey were collected from March 28 to May 31,
2019. The survey list comprised nurse managers of ASCs who were either OR Manager
subscribers or part of an external list. The survey was closed with 196 usable responses. The
margin of error is ±5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. This article features the
salary findings from the survey. Staffing findings were reported in the September 2019 issue.
plan to retire in 2028 or later.
* More than a third (37%) of respondents
said they didn't know their
ASC's annual operating budget,
compared with 44% last year.
Earnings
Total compensation,
like salary, also
declined slightly this year, although
the most frequently reported annual
total compensation range remained
the same: $120,000 to $149,999
(reported by 23% this year and 28%
in 2018). Fewer than half (42%) earn
$120,000 or more, down from 51%
in 2018, and only 3% earn more than
$200,000.
Hospital OR leaders continue to earn
more than their ASC counterparts.
In
all, 43% of hospital leaders earn salaries
of $120,000 or more, compared
with 31% of ASC leaders. Last year,
these percentages were 43% and 37%,
respectively. In the case of total compensation
packages, 42% of ASC leaders
earn $120,000 or more, far below
the 60% of hospital OR leaders in that
range.
