It’s helpful if corporate does not task clinical decisions to a nurse since that’s not their expertise. It’s helpful that someone knows the culture in order to provide the proper patient care. As a master level professional it’s important we have the best support from corporate to understand therapeutic treatment.

In outpatient, we need to have telemonitors for Virtual IOP and not iPad or PC. It gives the patients more privacy. In addition, corporate clinic person should not make therapeutic decisions for patients care, when they do not have access to patients. Secondly, Any changes concerning HCS should be shared with staff prior in a training or test run to prevent delay in notes and glitches that are not productive nor useful.

N/A

Talking with each other

Corporate has a nurse in charge of therapeutic programming and he does not know therapy. He tries to force therapy cookie cutter therapy topics instead of letting the therapist identify group topics based on patient needs. Corporate needs a therapist who understands patient care and needs to be in charge of therapeutic programming.

Make environment safer for employees.

Staffing, overall communication between admin, staff, employees etc, admitting appropriate patients, employee conflict needs to not be so openly visible to everyone, more on the job training - staff look scared and clueless.

Professionalism and organized environment to work

Could improve pay

Higher increases, more staff on the patient care areas.Directors and Supervisors need to address staff issues within their specific areas especially clinical areas.Higher pay increases across the board. 3 % annually does not compensate for the cost of living and especially Health Insurance cost.Less gossip and more work.Vacation Time should not be used for flexible hours. Employees need to make that choice of using their vacation time.
