If you’re physician is associated or has joined Mission you need to run as fast as you can. Trust me you will get SOAKED!
Mission has not treated employees fairly for a long time. The System chooses to abandon faithful employees for the greenback.
There are many articles out there about how the pay of CEO’s and upper management are eating the budgets of hospital systems. They can’t fairly compensate their staff because they are over compensated themselves. Even worse some of their compensation is based on patient satisfaction which has nothing to do with Administration. The nurses at Mission Hospital give excellent care despite the barriers of decreasing benefits as imposed by Management.
I blame the board as well as the administration for creating the 500 pound gorilla that the Mission System has become. I just can’t believe that none of these MD,MBA,CEO people have never seen the articles in Modern Healthcare (Another Year of Pay Hikes for Non-Profit Hospitals CEO’s), or The New York Times (Medicines Top Earners Are Not the MD), Becker’s Hospital Review (The Elephant in the Room: Hospital CEO’s Paychecks) or on NPR’s website (What Should Make A Hospital CEO’s Paycheck Bigger) that state there is no basis in healthcare for these huge salaries.
I had a conversation about compensation issues with Dr. Paulus less than a year ago and he seemed to not comprehend what I considered obvious and what others consider to be the truth. He and his peers make too much money for the system to support.
So back to the injury compensation issue. I really appreciated this statement in defense of Mission leaving Terry Cawthorn in the dust:
“Ron Paulus, Mission’s CEO, told NPR that he didn’t know about the workers’ compensation cases involving Cawthorn and other employees when he took over in 2010. But he says as soon as he learned about them, he told his staff to forget the past and focus on creating a compassionate culture at Mission.”
By the way Ron this did not make you sound like a good guy, it makes you sound like you didn’t understand the problem (and on National Public Radio!). Terry says thanks a bushel. I say get your head out of……the sand.
Mission doesn’t give two shits for it’s employees. This doesn’t surprise me at all.
