AUPHA is pleased to announce the launch of the Compensation & Benefits portal, part of the Benchmarking for Education in Healthcare Management (BEHM) platform. Unlike the current Operations portal, which is now collecting program information for the 2012-13 academic year, the Compensation & Benefits portal can be accessed by all AUPHA member program faculty via a unique username and password. Your access allows you to enter your personal compensation and benefits information and, once enabled, benchmark your data against that of all other AUPHA program member faculty, via pre-set filters.
Between now and the 2013 Annual Meeting, AUPHA will be holding a data collection phase. During this time, you will be able to enter your compensation and benefits information into the secure portal, but will not be able to pull reports or compare data. Throughout this period, AUPHA will be hosting informational webinars to help you navigate the portal. The dates of those webinars, along with registration links can be found below.
The questions within the portal were taken directly from the previous faculty compensation surveys that were administered via excel file. The pre-set filters were drawn from the report that was made available after the data was analyzed. This means that this is the exact survey that has always been administered, just in a different format.
Information regarding your individual access was sent during the first week of March, so all member faculty should now have received their unique username and password. It is important that each participant be as truthful as possible in their data entry, not only for your benefit, but also for the benefit of your colleagues. The validity of this system depends on each and every participant.
If you do have any questions or concerns about this portal, please do not hesitate to contact Lacey Meckley at lmeckley@aupha.org or by phone at 703-894-0940 x122.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have entered 50% of my data, but I am receiving a message saying that my account does not allow access to comparison data. Why am I not able to compare my data?
The portal is currently in a data collection phase. During this time, reports are disabled to allow for the collection of data. This feature will be enabled in June, which will provide all member faculty the opportunity to enter their data for the best data pull possible.
I am concerned that people will be able to filter the data down enough to figure out who has entered the information.
The portal is set up to only show data with 7 or more participant matches. If you select a series of filters that return less than 7 participants, you will receive an error message.
How can I be assured that the information I enter is confidential and secure?
This is a secure platform, accessed by all faculty and administration with a unique username and password. Your information is safe and there is not a way for any faculty member using the system to find out whose information is being filtered in comparisons and reports. As with any online system, we cannot offer an absolute guarantee against hackers.
Does this portal replace the former BEHM platform?
No. The BEHM platform now consists of two separate portals, the Operations Portal and the Compensation & Benefits Portal. Each portal requires a unique username and password to access. Programs are still able to log in via the username and password that was sent back in 2012 to enter its program information.
