Sachin H. Jain: It’s easy to forget why we are here — and hint: it’s not just to make our numbers…
Quoting Sachin H. Jain, President and CEO of SCAN Group and Health Plan, on LinkedIn:
“Layoffs in healthcare service delivery organizations are often quite problematic. While organizations need to right-size their cost structure or transform or modernize their operations, I have often seen organizations that provide care to patients lay off clinical staff without regard to the clinical needs or obligations that they have to their patients.
A specific savings target becomes a blind fixation that overtakes even a passing analysis of the staffing levels to meet even basic service levels. Cut first, think later. As healthcare organizations facing a sea of red numbers go through a period of contraction—maybe even necessary contraction—a cautionary reminder to think about the patients at every turn.
It’s easy to forget why we are here—and hint: it’s not just to make our numbers.”
