Unique Staffing Conditions
in Hospital Heart Programs
and the Dedicated Perfusionists Within Them
 - By Ralph E. Jordan, CEO & President

trends

It's a conundrum of sorts... Hospitals NEED perfusionists, LOVE their loyal staff, but what should they do during economic downturns or when case counts drop?

It's not just about the bottom line-- certainly not in our business so focused on patients and employees. 

Many hospitals report having an outstanding staffing situation within their cardiovascular surgery programs.  They have exceptionally competent and loyal perfusionists who work in synchronicity with surgeons and anesthesiologists.  This has been an ideal situation.  It's not taken for granted, rather, it's appreciated by those who have it.

Yet, things don't always stay the same.  The market changes.  Caseload statistics shift upwards or downwards.  It is prudent for managers to have a Plan B in the event things change.  And I'm seeing more and more, that heart programs are preparing for changes.

Over the years, especially in this economic downturn, hospital administrators are taking a hard look at the choices they have regarding staffing for their open heart programs. If case loads drop by way of market trends, special circumstances, or  in response to effects of a national recession, sometimes jobs are cut and it's unlikely a facility can rehire the  same staff when things return to normal.  This is due to the natural evolution; by then, the perfusionist has gained employment elsewhere.

As a specialty contractor, Trident Health Resources, Inc. can do things that many hospitals can't.  When we manage a client hospital, we have resources to respond to market changes.  In unique situations, we have answers and solutions.  We are able to retain perfusionists and ensure nobody is left without a job or a hospital without staffing.    And in the end, we always remain friends.  It's what we do...

Heart Quote of the Day:

When man is serene, the pulse of the heart flows
and connects, just as pearls are joined together
or like a string of red jade,
then one can talk about a healthy heart.

Cardiovascular Health Fun Fact

Nitric oxide plays such an important role in the maintenance of healthy blood pressure and, in turn, cardiovascular health. If our research results continue to support a link between consumption of flavanol-rich cocoa and nitric oxide synthesis, there could be significant implications for public health.
