In line with other hospitals, University of California medical centers use performance-based pay plans as a key tool to help raise the quality of care, increase efficiency and compete with other hospitals for the best talent. All medical center incentives are paid from clinical revenues — no state funds are used.
UC medical centers use pay-for-performance programs across the board, with most employees eligible for some incentive compensation and chief executives putting up to 30 percent of their pay at risk. Performance goals cover five areas: quality improvements, financial performance, patient satisfaction, resource utilization and key achievements against the strategic plan. UC has 22,000 participants in 21 clinical incentive plans at its five medical centers. They include more than 17,000 union employees: about 7,700 represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, 6,100 registered nurses represented by the California Nurses Association, 2,100 represented by the Coalition of University Employees and 1,400 represented by the University Professional and Technical Employees. The other 4,800 participants are professional or supervisory/management staff and 38 administrators in senior management.
UC policy for Senior Management Group positions requires that their compensation be reviewed and approved by UC Regents. Accordingly, Regents today (Jan. 21) approved $3.1 million in performance pay to 38 Senior Management Group participants in the Clinical Enterprise Management Recognition Plan (CEMRP) for fiscal year 2008-09. Including CEMRP, the total 2008-09 payout for all 21 clinical incentive plans is about $33.7 million, or 0.6 percent of total UC medical center revenues.
Regents approved the following CEMRP payments to Senior Management Group participants:
