The following are statements of personal opinion:
PTO/Sick Time was limited, limited CEU opportunities in the organization, not having feedback heard and instead interpreted as an attack or organizational failure, low staffing, poor systems in place for patient scheduling and consistency, silos between medical and psychiatric teams, lack of psychiatric provider availability for patients, having a liability lens for everything as opposed to balancing that against patient well-being and care.
More specifically, the existing structure for patient scheduling has led to large gaps in care and silos between types of wanted and required care. While certain standards do exist from the state to work with Medicaid patients, the existing organizational procedures put the burden of these requirements on the patients instead of having procedures that seek to eliminate or mitigate barriers leading to frequent missed or canceled appointments. When patients did attend appointments, it is not uncommon for them to experience long waiting periods for follow ups due to a variety of reasons including inadequate staffing and porous scheduling policies.
My largest con is that I personally did not do adequate research on executive leadership prior to accepting a position with this organization. I would encourage applicants to do public record searches through IDFPR, to read Google Reviews, and to read any job-board reviews. Do your research, and make informed decisions.
