First off before pulling someone assigned to do acutes, to outpt unit go over policy and proceedures and assaign them a person that can follow and train them!
Actually, higher people with leadership experience or a degree in leadership. I have seen managers hired with a retail background. One of the hiring managers wasn't even Medical. They only possessed a background managing Starbucks! Not even kidding
Communication and working as a team
Review from Admin Dept
Leasing and respecting there Employee better we had 3 FA's (Facilitie Administrator's) in one year and each one Worse than the last. They are getting these people from retail like target Walmart. In other places that is not healthcare. They come in not knowing how the clinic works and no respect.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Stop comparing different clinics. Stop the micromanagement of weekly meetings for every clinc and every modality. Start working the different roles you manage at least each role for a week to see the ridiculous expectations. Forcing fun when it is the hardest job in my career.
What you're told during the recruitment process and training period is not what transpires afterwards.
As mentioned prior staff is lower class than management. No medical knowledge or people skills.
They worked me to the point of mental breakdown and only paid me 17.50 when i have a bachelors of science
Pcts work extraordinarily hard and we care about our patients, we work very very hard and very long hours and get junk pay
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Teamwork, being supportive and be positive
Everyone should feel they are part of the village. That their work is meaningful, find the good they do instead of calling out all their negatives
Help one another and dont let each othee fail at something
Review from Admin Dept
Proper work communication and etiquette
If they eliminated the troubled nurses and actually paid attention to patient complaints
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to change their staffing patterns to improve safety and expected outcomes

More balance between prioritizing patient outcomes and staff quality of life compared to profit above all else. Slower initiative rollouts to allow staff to master one change before jumping into the next, causing chaos and rushed, inconsistent/incomplete efforts.
Not letting problems fester and follow up on issues reported
Stop being about the money
Not treat patients like an assembly line and create a schedule where there’s more than 15 min between patients.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Let the team meet candidates

Don't pull the bait and switch tactic. And have interviews conducted by people with actual medical training.
Too much lag time between application, recruiter, and manager.
Leas interviews, more organization with interviewing
The communication between the recruiting officer and Facility Administrator was poor. One gave me a time and the other gave me a completely different time. I sat in the lobby for an hour before I was interviewed.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Patients and staff are just data points on the journey to meet business metrics and not viewed as humans with individual needs, and both patients and TM know they will be replaced as soon as the company decides they are better off without them. Go back to treating everyone as people of value.
New computer system has too many glitches that have potential adverse effects on pt outcomes
They are to Top heavy and don't have no respect for employees on the bottom you get respect based on what your job distribution is and if you are a PCT or Nurse then you get almost 0
I have given enough suggestions.
No follow up our actions done to those who create problems due to shortage of workers and nurses
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Corporate leadership needs to understand the overwhelming nature of the direct patient care work load.
