In light of President Obama’s recent speech outlining his plan to create jobs, critics on both sides of the isle question whether or not his plan will be helpful or harmful. Even in unlikely sectors like health care, there is speculation that the Obama bill could be a job killing one. According to industry experts, health care is one of the few sectors that have continued to add jobs despite a persistent economic downturn – about 74,000 in 2010. The problem with the Obama bill is its effect on Medicare and Medicaid.
Impact of Cuts on Healthcare Jobs
Of the previously mentioned is 74,000 healthcare jobs added last year, almost 40% were in the field of assisted living. It is a field which accounts for a fair amount of growth in the overall industry as the American population continues to age. Unfortunately, the vast majority of patients who utilize assisted living do so on Medicare and Medicaid dollars. If the President’s plan is successful in cutting spending for Medicare and Medicaid programs, it could jeopardize the health of many assisted living facilities to the point that they will be forced to close.
Causing further concern is the implementation of universal healthcare beginning in 2014. That law, which was signed back in 2010, may also result in drastic cuts in government medical spending. Hospitals all over the country that depend on government funding for a variety of purposes will have to realign their budgets, forcing them to reduce their workforces. It seems as though a perfect storm may be on the horizon that could spell disaster for the healthcare industry.
The Other Side of the Story
On the other hand, some healthcare industry officials don’t believe the jobs bill will have an effect on healthcare jobs – even if Medicare and Medicaid are cut drastically. They cite the fact that people still need healthcare services, whether or not the government helps them pay for them. Resourceful Americans will find a way to get their healthcare and to make sure it’s paid for. And even in cases when that’s not possible, we are not a nation that allows our people to suffer unnecessarily. As long as there are people, there will be healthcare jobs.
Those who take this view point to countries like Germany and France where governments have realized they need to stop spending so much on healthcare. As a result, private enterprises have begun to spring up to fill in the gaps. And they are hiring.
Despite the potentially bumpy road ahead, health care facilities are continuing to add jobs. As mentioned previously, healthcare is one of the few industries that have continued to grow over the last couple of years, and statistics from the federal labor department indicate that the need for workers will only continue to grow over the next 5 to 10 years. Healthcare jobs will always be available; the only question is what types of jobs they will be. Only time will tell.
Mystery shopping the healthcare industry may strike some as counter-intuitive. Medicine and commerce have traditionally been mutually exclusive endeavors, but as medical practices consolidate and look more and more like regular businesses, patient retention becomes a growing factor.
The era of crotchety doctors and long waits in DMV-esque waiting rooms is drawing to a close, and many healthcare providers have embraced reputable mystery shopping firms as a partner in improving the patient experience. Here is what they are measuring:
Healthcare providers audit the appointment setting process.
Medical offices are typically a beehive of activity, and this is often reflected in the poor quality of the phone conversations we have with receptionists and other staff. Mystery shoppers are most often asked to audit the following, when calling to set an appointment with a medical practice:
Was the staffer courteous and helpful?
Did the staffer gather the required patient information?
Did the staffer ask how the caller learned of the practice?
Did the staffer tell the patient what to expect at the visit?
Did the staffer offer directions to the office? Did the staffer confirm the appointment details?
A good firm will ensure all calls are recorded so the client can hear how the call went.
Hidden video is becoming more prevalent for healthcare mystery shoppping, and gives an objective diagnosis of how your office is performing.
Healthcare providers audit the office visit.
Once the patient arrives at the office, there are many things that can affect the quality of the visit. Mystery shoppers audit everything from parking lot to the office and back. Here are the most commonly audited aspects of a medical visit:
How difficult was it to find the office?
How was the patient greeted?
How long was the check-in process?
Were the appropriate forms completed?
What was the wait time?
What was the condition of the waiting room?
How long did the patient wait in the examining room?
Were nurses and doctors friendly?
Did the doctor follow procedure in explaining the diagnosis?
Were options given?
Reputable firms offer mystery shops in the following types of healthcare practices:
Family practices
Pediatrics
PT/OT
Obstetrics
Dental
Orthodontics
