Why is this a big deal? Oschner's is the largest hospital system in Louisiana and possibly the Gulf South....

But wouldn’t you see the silver lining here? Looks like they’re focusing on administrative roles and not patient care.

It's a well written letter. What remains to be seen is exactly who gets let go and what impact that has. Does that mean lab folks, or does it mean accountants? Patient advocates? Who knows. The devil is in the details.

My thoughts as well. Anything that reduces the bloat is a good thing.

On its face, sure. But reducing the bloaters requires that you eliminate or reduce the gateways they managed. That's harder to do without running afoul of mandates.
Maybe AI?

Right. Perhaps the cutting needs to move up the food chain. Just sayin...

I've seen situations, particularly in early electronic billing, where facilities simply did not have the systems to provide what Medicare wanted. In those cases, there were often waivers. Hopefully we will see more of that.
I'd love to see a list of all the information hospitals are required to provide that have nothing to do with patient care quality. I'd bet we could go through and eliminate at least half of them with no impact.

Yep. One thing I noticed...People with clinical qualifications will be offered reassignment.

What they need to do is bring in a huge number of people with MBA's who can then help to remove the administrators and other bloat.
It works every time!
