Custom Surveys & Proprietary Research

It is not getting any easier. Today’s challenging recruiting environment is making retention and reliable benchmark data all the more critical. Benchmarks with sufficient sample size for physicians at the local level are key to successful compensation planning efforts, recruiting, and retention.

As a healthcare industry thought leader, ECG prides itself on leading-edge identification and interpretation of industry trends. A key factor in recognizing and addressing these trends is the ability to access definitive, hard-to-measure data and statistics. To that end, ECG frequently conducts customized surveys that provide our clients with access to data that is either more in-depth than that of, or not available from, other industry sources.

While select surveys are unique to a particular topic in a given year, other surveys are conducted by ECG on an annual basis, including national and regional compensation, production, and benefits surveys.


Selected Projects

For a number of children’s hospitals and faculty practice plans, integrated health systems, and independent medical groups, ECG has conducted numerous engagements that utilize our proprietary provider compensation data including:

  • Physician compensation plan redesigns and market assessments.
  • Funds flow evaluation and redesign.
  • Fair Market Value assessments and opinions.
  • Provider benefit benchmarking and design.
  • Recruiting and retention.

We have been a participant in the (Northwest) survey since its initiation in 2000 and rely on the complete and comprehensive information it provides to assess our competitiveness.
