What subtle changes are you noticing in your facility as US Healthcare prepares for the BBB?
- Our hospital has given each unit a manager and a director who oversees several units. It used to be one director to one unit.
- Elimination of on-site employee health nurse. We now share one with another hospital.
-Complete outsourcing of HR/talent acquisition rather than having a team in-house. We may have one HR rep on campus some of the week. Or at limited hours.
- Per-diem clinical education nurses instead of two full-time.
-Just recently stopped accepting Medicare advantage (not totally crazy though)
-Elimination of valet parking. We used to offer it for free as our hospital is on a mountain and the parking lots are separated by hills. Not exactly ADA-friendly.
-Complete change of food supplier and menu served in the cafeteria.
I know I'm forgetting some, but you get the gist.
