Regents approve two new Level 2 SMG positions and market reference zones for UCHealth
Summary
The joint Governance and Health Services Committees approved creation of two Level 2 Senior Management Group positions and corresponding market reference zones (MRZs) for UCHealth, consolidating functions previously spread across multiple roles described as a cost-saving measure.
The University of California regents approved establishing two Level 2 Senior Management Group (SMG) positions and associated market reference zones for UCHealth during a joint meeting of the Governance and Health Services Committees.
Staff described the item as the formal establishment of two Level 2 SMG positions to reflect expanded responsibilities: combining previously separate strategy and transformation roles into a single chief strategy and transformation officer, and consolidating multiple finance roles into a Deputy Chief Financial Officer position for UCSF Health. Executives said the change consolidates what had been four positions into two and was presented as a cost-saving measure.
Why it matters: The MRZ and SMG-level designation affect compensation bands and classification for senior UCHealth executives and formalizes the consolidation of duties across health-system leadership roles.
Discussion and vote: Executive Vice President Rachel Nava introduced the item and Chancellor Hawgood and UCSF Health leadership provided context. Committee members said the item concerns new MRZs rather than the hiring of individuals. The Health Services Committee approved the item in committee by roll call; the Governance Committee then approved the item by roll call. The secretary called the roll in the governance committee; the chair announced the item had been approved. The item was recorded as approved in both committees.
Ending: Staff will proceed with establishing the MRZs and updating position records; hiring action, if any, was not part of the MRZ approval recorded in the joint meeting.
