Background Statement
A satellite clinic of Baltiwash Academic Medical Center (BAMC), located in the inner city, has an opening for a physician. The Director of Physician Relations for BAMC, Lincoln Hoover, is in charge of securing a suitable candidate for the position. He lists vacancy announcements online and in medical journals. After several months, the only person to apply for the position is Dr. Maria Teresa who has medical missionary experience. She provides necessary documentation such as resume, transcripts, letters of recommendations and authorization to work in the US. Dr. Teresa is hired. However, about a month into the position, the clinic is experiencing an unfavorable work environment. The staff and charge nurse Ester Johnson are complaining about Dr. Teresa lack of quality patient care and respect for the clinic staff. Charge nurse Johnson even makes the accusation that Dr. Teresa may not be a real doctor.
Major Problems and Secondary Issues
The major problem is that BAMC lacks a strong recruitment process for hiring and retaining physicians. Job postings should not remain stagnant for a lengthy time period, interviews must be conducted, and new employees must have a smooth transition into a corporation. An adequate applicant pool must be established. The first and only applicant that applies for a position cannot be the only one considered for the position. Applicants should have experience working in inner city communities.
Secondary issues include lack

Thank you for your response regards to "Rolling Meadows Community Hospital". John did not act in a fairly manner by not giving the intern the position. Even though John did confess his truly feelings it still ended up being an altercation not only for him but the hospital as well. I agree where you stated "This provide an understanding that just because one doesn’t physically touch or ask for physical contact doesn’t mean you can’t get in trouble for comment." I believe John felt like he could get away with this case just because he was the CEO of the hospital but it obviously does not matter what type of position you hold in a work environment; this should not be tolerated at any work environment.
An alarming issue that has occurred over the past 10 years is the lack of potential primary care candidates. The practice overall has experience a modest decline of late as the number of medical students and

The human resource officers used predictive data to determine vacancies. These predictions yielded a quantity of vacancies but there wasn’t a list of specific positions to post to job boards, the website or the intranet. Chesapeake public schools informally posted their positions and recruited aggressively by announcing openings for the upcoming school year on college campuses. During this phase, recruiters traveled to universities on the east coast to present job opportunities in Chesapeake Public Schools. The recruiters actually came to our classes and introduced Chesapeake Public Schools to the all educational methods
You are the assistant director for ambulatory services. An attending physician complains, “The clerks are no good in this clinic, and neither is the director of nursing.” What do you say to him? Assume that the physician is an important customer.
Pocahontas Memorial will focus on recruiting younger physicians no more than five years out of their training. Due to the aging physician community, younger providers are needed when the current providers retire (Cohn & Harlow, 2009). If the recruitment team focuses on the younger, newly graduated physicians, the physicians they recruit are more likely to stay with the organization longer. Younger physicians also have a different work-life balance approach (Cohn & Harlow, 2009). This is due to the more family oriented view, which, living in a rural community, it is easier to have that balance. Rural areas are generally less stressful as they do not have traditional “big city” issues such as traffic, crowding issues, and the need to rush everywhere.
Since the Community South Medical Center enjoys a great reputation among the patients as well as the general population, it would be common to find many individuals who would like to become part of such a reputed organization. This reputation of the center should make the job of the management a bit easy as it would just need to advertise its requirements to the public and then choose the best from the applicants who apply for the job. The center can even negotiate on its terms with the applicants since there would be much competition for the posts of clinical staff and hence introduce many conditions such as a good experienced background, good educational background and so on.
One goal of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is to improve operations and deliver seamless and integrated support (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, 2014). According to the VA Strategic Plan for 2014-2020, one objective that supports this goal is to make the VA a place that great employees want to work. To make the VA a place where great employees want to work, the organization must be able to hire and recruit the best employees in order to change the culture. One way to better recruit the best employees is to decrease the lengthy hiring process currently in practice at the VA. Recruiting the best employees in term of fit and skill is vital to the Acute Psychiatry department, as well as other specialty areas, because the turnover

An organization such as the Pocahontas Memorial Hospital (PMH) is established to be a primary care source for a rural community, serving 5% of the state’s population (Pocahontas Memorial Hospital, 2013). PMH wishes to deliver compassionate care and promote healthy lifestyles through working collaboratively with other healthcare facilities, and delivering adequate patient education, while sustaining financial viability (Pocahontas Memorial Hospital, 2016). This organization would like to offer a comprehensive satellite health clinic within Pocahontas County, as the strategy to intervene existing weaknesses and threats to the health of the community of Pocahontas County.
One of the main problems faced by the staff at Kaluyu Memorial Hospital is the inappropriate behavior portrayed by the doctors and administration. As most people understand, there is a shortage of nurses in the United States and throughout most of the world. As a result, many nurses are overworked, have less job satisfaction, and experiencing burnouts. Coupled with inappropriate behavior by the doctors and other faculties, this poses for a poor environment for a nurse. It is clear that the chief issue of this hospital are the rude staff and shortages of nurses who are dissatisfied with their positions at this organization and face job insecurity with the intimidating administration staff members. For the hospital, this results in far less quality healthcare in
