Case Study: As the CEO for a metropolitan community-based hospital in a downtown environment with several other hospitals located within a two (2) mile radius, you have learned your labor issues have worsened over a 3-day holiday weekend due to several resignations and staff no-shows. The current labor status in your hospital is troublesome and needs attention to avoid the closing of units and services, and the decline in the quality of service that could have severe long-term repercussions.
Questions: Ironically, today is your quarterly Board meeting and will necessitate you providing the Board with an update on the labor issue.
How will you update the Board? Remember, you have a Board meeting on the Monday of the holiday weekend you return and learn of the deteriorating situation.
How will you organize a focused effort on this labor challenge?
Who will you involve within the organization and who will lead the effort?
How will you prioritize your effort and evaluate progress both short and long-term?
How, if at all, will you involve the medical staff?
What resources, both internal and external, do you anticipate needing to address this issue successfully?
Does anything differ in your approach based on being a for-profit vs. non-profit hospital?
