Pros
The people who actually do the difficult work of collecting research, analyzing data, and working with clients are incredibly hard-working and driven by a mission to improve healthcare.
Cons
It remains to be seen whether KLAS can still get the hard-to-reach data it relies on, and whether it can deliver on its promise of peer-driven insights. In the name of cost-cutting, measures implemented over the last two years are undermining the mission and making it increasingly difficult to get work done. The latest round of layoffs has left teams overstretched. People whisper about burnout and quietly look for other jobs while trying to meet shifting expectations, all without enough resources or adequate training. The environment feels strange: privately, people are angry, you hear talk of nepotism, and so many skilled, knowledgeable colleagues have left. Publicly, meetings feel hollow — empty speeches about nothing, while real problems are ignored and swept under the rug. It's exhausting, and it leaves you feeling disappointed.
