Pros
I love helping patients. I love making a difference. Sometimes we get the chance to do that for our patients. It's the best feeling...when it happens.
Cons
It's impossible to do what is right for your patients when there is SO much focus on the broken priorities that make up the bottom line. The priorities aren't effective and dependable technology, the priorities aren't the implementation of effective strategies for supporting the patient caseload, nor are the priorities asking those who run the teams what would ensure the success of their teams in order to best serve the patients. The priorities are "declaring that everything is broken" and putting someone in charge of "fixing" what's "broken" who doesn't have any experience in how to fix it or how it runs. Careless and dangerous when patient lives are on the line and money is the first priority. Salaries are unbalanced and not anywhere close to marketplace value. Associates, supervisors, and Managers are grossly underpaid for what is expected to keep up.
