From Compensation Administration to Intelligence in Healthcare

Want to build stronger relationships with your providers? Compensation transparency might be the key. When the team at Saint Alphonsus came to Hallmark, one of their big goals was to let providers access full, accurate, real-time compensation details any time. They were growing fast, and they knew that transparency would help them build trust with their providers. Now, using Hallmark’s consolidated platform for compensation management, the team gets fewer questions and less confusion from providers—and Hallmark’s tools have helped save costs and freed up 30% or more of their analysts’ time. “The reliability, scalability, data integrity, and calculations have just been great and valuable,” says R.
