purchasing power they wield. On the other hand, 28% of both hospital and ASC respon- dents don't think their paychecks are enough compensation for their wide-ranging responsi- bilities. "My salary is not nearly what it should be," says Ms. Hrnicek. She keeps a succession planning book that contains documentation of her many contri- butions to the job. The book is intended to provide guidance for the person who fills her seat next, whenever that may be, but it also provides black-and-white proof of her value. Not that it does her much good. "You can always plead your case for more money, but I'm not sure that works," says Ms. Hrnicek. "I've done it plenty of times and nothing has happened." Ms. Williams believes it is possible to quan- tify the effort it takes to purchase capital equipment by documenting the time spent meeting with staff and surgeons, requesting price quotes from vendors and developing a budget's line items. She says you might even be able to document if, for example, finding a great deal on wireless imaging technology results in fewer staff trips and avoiding the expense of paying for falls injuries.
