The Importance Of Seniority In Healthcare Organizations

One of the strengths…. New physicians are hired on a two year contract with a fixed salary and benefits. After the completion of their two year term, they can then choose to either buy a share of Medical Associates and become stakeholders, or terminate their relationships with the practice entirely. Over the course of the past 5 years, Medical Associates’ staff has changed dramatically within the organization. As registered nurses retire or resign, they have been replaced with medical assistants. On five recent occasions, when a Registered Nurse assigned to a senior physician resigned, the senior physician demanded that the registered nurse assigned to a staff physician (non-shareholder) be reassigned to him or her and that the new Medical Assistant be hired to fill the vacancy with the new staff physician. This ad hoc system of job switching has caused a great deal of internal turmoil between the senior and junior physicians and has lead to the subsequent resignation of two Registered Nurses who did not want to be reassigned. Another issue of long term concern involves the financial structure of the corporation. At a recent Board retreat, a consultant furnished a recommendation that the corporation retain more of its annual earnings before sharing earnings with the shareholders. This report was very controversial.Dr. Eason, the Medical

The principle of seniority, used by Always Round, is easy to apply at the lower levels because of its being the most objective. This type of promotion system does not present a view of favoritism or nepotism, considering only age and experience. In a blue collar society, it is very much in-line with the established

Companies promote their employees everyday, but when the department heads are considering which employees to promote, what should they take into consideration? Should seniority be considered or equal opportunity, or should a promotion be based solely on the worker who is dedicated to doing excellent work everyday? These questions and more come up in our group study project on Morality of Employees and Employers.

This report is intended to be presented to senior management within the NHS. It evaluates the challenges that NHS Choices is facing with its current social media adoption or use and does so through an evaluation of two social media platforms: Facebook and Twitter. The selection of these two specific social media platforms is driven by the popularity of Facebook and Twitter with the UK population. In an Ofcom report published in 2014, 96% of online adults used Facebook as their default social networking site closely followed by Twitter (Ofcom, 2014). It is important therefore to evaluate how NHS Direct can utilise social media to effectively communicate with the UK population. This report is divided into two subsequent parts. Part II evaluates the challenges that NHS Choices currently face with regards to its current adoption. Part III builds on this analysis by advising how NHS Choices can effectively use social media to improve the services provided to patients.

“POW” Back In The Civil Rights Law”, Rita C. Tobin discusses the age discrimination case against Jack Gross, a successful claims administrator director, and how he was demoted to a lower position. Gross knew this demotion was due to his age, and he decided to sue the agency, but in turn lost. Gross’ case did open doors for other individuals that are fired or demoted due to ageism, and hopefully people are considered for a position due to their work ethic and work skills, not their

“Running a health care organization is a team sport. It is very important that all members of the team-whether on the medical staff, in management or on the board-understand the role of governance and what constitutes effective governance” (Arnwine, 2002). Running a hospital is a difficult task. Several factors need to be seriously thought of and considered in every decision and undertaking. Unfortunately, all the three important factors in governing a hospital is not always in harmony. As likened to a team sport, if the three major components are not working with each other as a team, there will be tension and a great divide will be experienced. And often times, the patients will be in the middle and will be greatly impacted. This writer believes that there are several factors that contribute to the tension that usually exists among the medical staff, the board and administration. One factor is the disconnect, where each entity is not seeing each other eye to eye and their visions may be different from each other. Another factor may be the lack of communication in order to bridge the gap and to build a respectful and a relationship wherein there is trust for each end every member of the group. Often times, the medical staff is concerned with ensuring that patients are cared for in a manner that their practice is protected as well as the patients are getting the appropriate care. On the other hand, the board of trustees may be focused in ensuring that that

While the “Greatest Generation” is a title often given to those Americans who lived and died during the era of the Great Depression and World War II, their offspring, the “Baby Boom” generation, significantly shaped and improved the American landscape as well if for no greater reason than the sheer number of people who make up this population (Steinhorn, 2006). Today, based predominantly on that very same reason, the baby boomer population is now making a very different, yet equally as profound impact on American society. More
