Bobby Langdon is existing president of Acme General. It is 300-bed hospital serving community of 70,000 people. He has just completed meeting with hospital administrator, Susy Miller. Meeting was called to address to find acceptable solution to apparent conflict between Ms. Miller and chief of the Bariatric Program, Dr. Kincaid. The problem: The Bariatic Program manager is scheduling a variety of surgeries in such a way that providers don't feel they can sufficiently perform these complicated procedures. They also feel there is not proper time permitted between procedures to set up surgical suite for next case. Providers feel that scheduling issues are resulting in poor patient outcomes. It has also been indicated that program manager shows favouritism toward some of providers and permits them more time in OR and between cases. Problem escalated when Dr. Kincaid fired program manager after many complaints from providers, staff, and patients. Manager talked to Ms. Miller who over-ruled the doctor. She cited that non-clinical staff could not be fired by program director. After reading this case, use information you have gleaned from research and required readings to answer following questions.
