Methodist Health System reviews

loss of upper management support

Inflexible schedule, intense pressure from the management to sacrifice the time needed to ethically and responsibly follow up on medication orders, which is required to ensure safety and efficacy to the patients, vs. inflating productivity reports in order to look good. Extreme favoritism demonstrated towards certain staff. Annual merit raises are also awarded based on favoritism. There is a creation of wedge issues and "us vs. them" attitudes within the department, which creates a disturbing, negative impact on patient care, as well as damaging the trust which is needed amongst coworkers to function as a team. Instead of the appropriate managers forcing dept employees to work as a team, and observe common professional courtesy, all too many decisions end up being made by the loudest, while those who should know better simply look the other way. All of the hospital's departments have a problem with employees passing through the revolving door; the hospital president and CEO either need to come out of the office, or start reading different reports.
