Providence reviews

Senior management LIES!!! That's all they do. We never have clear direction, nobody knows anything. ALL the good competent and reliable people have left. Good people are leaving in droves. Too much work with no unity. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. All attempts to have regionalization and do what they do at the system office is a failure

Over the last several years Providence has grown substantially through M&A's and has partnered with many smaller health organizations to provide use of their EPIC healthcare information system platform. While this growth has been marketed by senior leadership as being absolutely necessary for the long term survival of Providence, the resulting chaos of integrating the numerous hospitals and clinics has affected everyone in the company negatively. Too many of these M&A's have revealed grossly inadequate infrastructures that has left Providence holding the bag with millions of dollars in needed investment - just at a moment in time when the current federal administration has decided to pull the rug out from underneath non and not-for-profit healthcare systems relying on Medicare / Medicaid reimbursements. This perfect storm has left Providence's management spiraling out of control with very little direction, no real funding plans, and having to make large cuts to it's support staff. They are trying their best, but the reality is that more cuts are coming, a rumored M&A with Accession Health Care and subsequent move of their HQ's from Renton, WA to Chicago, will undoubtedly cause even further discontentment and tightening of the money belt. Obviously, my comments are derived from a corporate management perspective, which has been deemed as "toxic" by many individuals in those ranks. Life at the clinic / hospital front-line may be different, but I have heard many complaints that the corporate core values of Respect, Compassion, Justice, Excellence, Stewardship are at significant risk.
