Stop Greed - Kiwi - 12-10-2009 07:46 PM
I work in a non-emergent, outpatient imaging center in Houston. Currently our facility is open from 6:30 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Our director is in the process of trying to extend our hours later into the evening to bring in more money. This additional revenue is not crucial, just desired. It looks good on paper, thus impressing the “big shots.†One major problem lies with personal security issues concerning the late shift employee and any patients who will leave to a deserted parking lot after dark. Our facility provides no security guard and is located in an area of the city with a known high crime rate. As night goes on less people are around increasing the chance of an attack/rape/murder in the parking lot. Another problem this extended shift will cause is employee burnout due to a staff that is stretched even thinner than it is now. This will decrease patient care as a result of the lack of extra staff. We now have an awesome team that strives for excellent patient care. I would hate to see things change due to greed. Please pray that God stops our director’s plan to extend hours before it is ever implemented. Please pray that God also protect us from any future plans driven by greed.
