Strange Tony,
Financial rapscallions have caused widespread harm in healthcare. Only a sycophant could refer to their impact as "elevate."
Private equity and venture capital are the business version of iatrogenic disease.
"...a state of ill health or adverse effect caused by" management greed
Obscenely wealthy principals partner with executives to shovel money into their pockets from the work of hospice multidisciplinary teams. Strict staffing models, combined with bad technology and high turnover, mean salaried nurses often work 70 hours a week for 40 hours pay.
That's a win for greedy management. It's cheating and overworking staff.
Elevate happened yesterday in Washington, D.C. Did any members of the Federal Trade Commission attend? I hope so. They should be much smarter after months of public comment on healthcare consolidation (mostly by private equity).

All true. Sadly. I wrote a book on my experiences working as a chaplain under a greedy boss and a private-equity firm and the harm to our patients. “Surviving Hospice: A Chaplain’s Journey Into the Business (side) of Dying.”

That's in Curo's corporate office (Mooresville, NC). Curo's operating model was imposed on Gentiva when the original financial rapscallion takeover happened in 2018. Gentiva executives are a miserly bunch when it comes to sharing the profits.

The rules are never the same from one day to the next. No clear policies to rely on.
The management is abusive to professionals and treat us like trained monkeys. The pay is higher than most on the surface but you are responsible for your patients 24/7 365, which means you have to have patient access constantly. My official on call was changed 3 times without asking.
9 months was all I could take. There was no reason to stay. They rip your patients away from you just as you are developing a relationship. Basically they just DON’T CARE! About employees for patients.

ReplyDeleteReally think long and hard when changing jobs, because things are not always as they appear.
What is the best part of working at the company?
Submitting my resignation. There isn't a best part of working for Gentiva, unfortunately.
What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The culture, dishonestly, and their need for control and power. Changes being made that aren't for the better and workloads that should be for multiple people, being assigned to one person.
What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Controlling. Speak up at your own risk.
What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Try to get through a multi-person workload without asking for help. Have work interrupted for a useless meeting that could have been sent in an email.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not being able to complete all of my work in a 8:00 to 5:00 work hour day there is not the life work balance. You find yourself working after 5:00 and on weekend as well. some weeks are 60 hours or more while only getting paid for 40

Out in the field driving from home to home usually no lunch break usually no bathroom break and more likely no time to chart between each visit therefore charting and documentation is done after 5: 00pm and the expectation is it should be done within
