You are the supervisor of a department at Hedgemore Hospital
& Health Center [not real name] located in Southern
California. The hospital serves a disproportionate amount of
indigent patient's of which reimbursement is less than the cost of
caring for this patient population. Your task as the
supervisor of your shift is to evaluate your employee's
performance, review the revenue generated by your department
[you can choose MRI-Radiology or
Nuclear Medicine Department for this
assignment], and recommend ways to reduce your
department's overall expenses for three months by ten [10] percent
to avoid layoffs. All departments at Hedgemore have been tasked
with the same assignment. Your proposal must be submitted to
your Department head within one week.
Steps 1-3
1. What would be the first item you would evaluate:
supplies-staffing-patient volume?
2. Based on your initial findings, what would be your next
step?
3. You submitted your proposal to cut costs to your Department
head and she/he reviewed it and returned it to you as insufficient;
because you only realized eight [8] percent proposed reduction in
cost. What would be your next step?
