The Latest Data on Staff Benefits and Salary Reviews

The 2004 Staff Salary Survey, published by The Health Care Group in Plymouth Meeting, Pa., provides hard data to compare and structure your staff's compensation and benefits. The survey is organized by staff position, geographic region, and Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). For each position, a region-by-region survey is provided first, followed by data divided according to MSA.

About this data: The information, statistics and national averages in this installment of Stat Tracker were drawn from The Health Care Group's 2004 Staff Salary Survey. In the fourth quarter of 2003, questionnaires were mailed to 9,213 medical practices nationwide and 928 practices responded, including 165 ophthalmology practices. The complete 2004 Staff Salary Survey contains more staff categories and additional results, summarizes data from all respondents to the survey, and is organized by staff position and geographic region.
