2,400 words (approx. 9.6 pages) | 6 sources | MLA | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

A discussion on how layoffs in hospitals affect the remaining staff. It looks at reasons why the health care industry has needed to downsize, and how this affects the quality of care received by the patients. The writer states that the staff who survive the lay-offs are left with a greater workload and a harder job.

From the Paper:

"What are the different ways that hospital managers can increase employee morale after downsizing or "restructuring"? To understand how to increase employee morale, we need to first understand the reason behind hospital downsizing. In the past few years, hospitals have received less funding, due to the rest of the slowing economy. That is the bottom line. So, in order to keep operating, hospitals have had to decrease the work force and other costs. But, they didn't decrease the workloads in fact, workloads have increased because the work force has decreased, which left more work for the surviving employees. And, when there is less staff to admit patients, patients suffer by not getting the care they need right away while waiting to be admitted."
