Sutter Health Radiologic Technologist reviews

Management just doesn't seem to care. Way understaffed, overworked, work flow impossible, lots of my co workers working double shifts just to get staffing level to skeleton crew status. Senior management just doesn't get it, they take away more and more perks from us every year, and are now forcing us to park 3 blocks away, which is all fine and good, unless you work the PM shift and are off at 1130 at night and have to walk 3 blocks by yourself in not the best neighborhood. Benefits sound great on paper, but my "Sutter " medical insurance denied my hospital stay because of a improper coding error by the sutter doctor's office . now they say I owe $55,000 for a procedure i needed. And that's how they treat their patients? Everything is about write ups, if you make someone mad you will get written up. Bad system. Everything boils down to the $$$. that's all they seem to care about. Yes, I understand it's a business, and businesses are there to make money, but as an employee, i don't want it drilled into my head on whether or not our department made budget, and now i have to "flex out" so they can make their bottom line. (that's a dirty little secret they don't want you to know about)

Sutter gets caught in a bureaucratic battle between the state and jcaho and the Sutter policies. As a result, sutter comes up with some pretty stupid and senseless policies which really don't directly effect patient care, but boggs down the employee with extra paperwork and steps which in effect takes longer to complete ANY Ttask. This results in longer wait times for patients, and unhappy employees. To be fair, I have never met Pat Fry, I couldn't pick him out of a crowd if I wanted to. It's my immediate supervisors in my department that I am talking about, but I can only assume that they were directed by upper management.
