      Disingenuous Management Style

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Reliable salary and benefits for doctors. Many hospitals are well equipped with modern diagnostic equipment. The CE requirement for doctors in stringent, typically doctors are current and up to date.

      Cons

      Most hospitals are managed with a reactionary, 'fly by the seat of your pants' management style. Policies and procedures are deliberately vague to allow management maximum flexibility to 'leverage' staff. Mid level management is under incredible pressure to meet targets and have no support in creating a positive work environment. Technicians are often shorted full time hours to make financial targets.Hospitals are so understaffed that work environment is stressful for reception, technician, and doctor teams.
