Assignment: Case Study- Staffing
Please read the full case on page 424 of your
text. River Oaks Community Hospital (ROCH) is a
70-bed private, for-profit health care facility established to treat
alcohol/drug abusing and mentally ill individuals. The patient admission census
at ROCH, once at near full capacity, is drastically declining. This is partly
due to the increasing competition from both inpatient and outpatient facilities
and to recent reimbursement changes due to an increased number of managed
care-type insurers. With these decreased numbers in census, the CEO ordered
staff reductions.
Eventually all institutions and all
industries face the necessity for retrenchment when revenues are not sufficient
to cover expenses. Employee layoffs are a common response. You are a newly
hired Director of Operations in this health care setting. The CEO is demanding
staffing reductions be made in all departments, and each Director is given 24
hours to create a plan on how they would do this. Put yourself in the Director
of Operations place and respond to the CEO’s “request”. Please
read the full case on page 424 of your text for staffing details.
In a 2-3 page paper, analyze how you would
fulfill the CEO’s request. Some topics of focus you might consider are:
·
Contracting with outside agencies for
services
·
Overtime
·
Elimination of positions, and how you would
determine who would be terminated
·
Justification for remaining staff
·
Alternatived to layoffs
·
New revenue sources
·
Innovative methods to reduce labor costs
·
Workforce reductions through attrition and
retirement
Compose your analysis in APA format with a
title page, introduction, conclusion and reference page. Cite 1-2 scholarly
references beyond your text to support your opinions.
