SullivanCotter publishes the definitive annual read on physician and executive comp. ClinicalRate publishes the daily read on clinical pay and bill rates — for the teams pricing this week’s requisitions.
SullivanCotter’s surveys are a fixture of health-system compensation committees — physician, APP, and executive comp, methodically collected and annually published. For governance and comp-plan design, that rigor is the point.
But the contingent labor market doesn’t wait for publication day. Travel nurse bill rates reprice weekly. Allied and per-diem rates swing with local census. An annual percentile is an anchor for committees — not an instrument for a pricing desk quoting against this morning’s market.
ClinicalRate covers that operational surface: 428 canonical clinical roles with pay and bill rates refreshed daily, state and metro cuts, and delivery through UI, read API, and warehouse share — built for the teams that touch the rate every day.
Different instruments for different jobs. Here is the capability-level view.
We sell against stale data, not against good instruments used for the right job.
For staffing and contingent-labor pricing, yes — that market needs daily data SullivanCotter doesn’t publish. For executive and physician comp-plan governance, the annual surveys do a job ClinicalRate doesn’t try to do. Many customers run both.
The pipeline refreshes daily, and every number in the platform shows its sample size and observation window. You’re never guessing how fresh a percentile is — the n and the dates are on the screen.
No. The taxonomy is 428 clinical roles — nursing, allied, advanced practice, and physician. Executive comp benchmarking stays with the annual surveys built for it.
Yes. Book a demo and bring a percentile you currently anchor on — we’ll run the same role and market through the live platform with full sample-size transparency so you can judge the delta yourself.
Bring the survey percentile you anchor on today. We’ll run the same role and metro through the live platform and show you the drift.
