Healthcare

Compensation that supports
caregivers — and the patients they serve.

Moore Cooperative partners with hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and other healthcare employers to design defensible pay structures, retain frontline clinicians, and navigate the regulatory environment that shapes every compensation decision in the industry.

Why Healthcare Organizations Choose Us

Healthcare employers face a compensation landscape unlike any other: persistent clinician shortages, escalating premium and agency labor costs, complex shift and on-call differentials, union and bargaining unit dynamics, Stark Law and fair-market-value scrutiny of physician arrangements, IRS intermediate sanctions rules for tax-exempt health systems, and multi-state pay transparency mandates – all while operating on margins that leave little room for missteps.

Backed by our homegrown PayEquity.ai platform, our team delivers rigorous, methodology-forward compensation and workforce analytics built for the regulatory scrutiny, clinical complexity, and mission-first culture that define healthcare.

Capabilities

Built for the realities of healthcare.

Pay Equity Analysis

Multi-factor regression and cohort testing across clinical and non-clinical roles – controlling for specialty, unit, shift, credentials, and tenure – with documented, reproducible findings ready for legal review, board committees, and regulators.

Clinician Compensation

Physician, advanced-practice, and nursing pay design that balances competitive market posture against MGMA, SullivanCotter, and specialty-society benchmarks – with the fair-market-value and commercial-reasonableness documentation Stark Law and Anti-Kickback compliance require.

Structures, Bands & Differentials

Job architecture, salary bands, and shift, weekend, on-call, charge, float, preceptor, and certification differentials designed to be understandable, maintainable, and defensible – across bedside, ambulatory, and corporate populations.

Executive & Board Support

Independent, defensible support for executive compensation decisions at tax-exempt health systems, including rebuttable presumption reviews, comparability data, and 990 Schedule J disclosure preparation aligned with IRS intermediate sanctions guidance.

Workforce & Retention Analytics

Turnover diagnostics, premium-labor and agency-spend analysis, burnout and engagement signals, and staffing-model modeling – so you can see the retention risk before it shows up in vacancy rates and traveler invoices.

Transparency & Responsible AI

Practical guidance for the growing patchwork of state pay transparency laws, grounded in our Responsible AI principles: transparent methods, human review, bias testing, and documentation your compliance, legal, and audit teams can follow.

How We Work

Rigorous. Regulator-ready. Clinician-aware.

We scope engagements to fit your calendar and your realities. Whether you need a focused pay equity check before a board meeting, a physician FMV opinion before signing a contract, or a full nursing compensation refresh ahead of contract negotiations, we start with what your organization actually needs – not a fixed template.

Every finding is documented, reproducible, and explainable in plain language – ready for your compensation committee, audit committee, general counsel, and the regulators and auditors who will read the file.

AI is optional. Many healthcare clients – particularly in unionized environments or with sensitive PHI-adjacent workforce data – prefer human-led analysis. We scope engagements the same way with or without AI in the loop: same rigor, same documentation, same reproducibility.

Change management is central to every engagement. New pay structures, differentials, or transparency practices only take root when nurse managers, department chairs, HR business partners, and frontline staff understand what is changing and why. We invest in communication planning, manager training, and stakeholder engagement so the work is adopted, trusted, and outlasts the engagement.

Let's talk about your workforce.

From physician FMV opinions to nursing pay refreshes, from system-wide pay equity audits to premium-labor diagnostics, we can help you scope the right next step – and document it in a way your board, auditors, and regulators will trust.
