Pros
It's difficult to think of Pros right now. I moved my family back to Utah from out of state to work for what I thought was a stable healthcare organization. Turns out there are systems in Utah much more stable than Intermountain. I envisioned myself working for Intermountain until retirement as long as I proved myself a valued employee. Little did I know, the millionaires who comprise the Board of Trustees, Marc Harrison, and others had different plans. And those plans included a salary and benefits dump of epic proportions to the tune of over 2,000 Intermountain Healthcare employees becoming employees of R1 RCM, formerly Accretive. I won’t get into the dollars I’ll be losing because of R1’s benefits and also losing Intermountain’s pension, but believe when I say I’ve done the math and I have a right to not be thrilled about this direction. But hey, Intermountain is saving $70 million over 3 years so I'm sure whatever services I seek out will surely be less expensive, right? Doubtful.
Kontras
Where do I begin. How about here: - The Board of Trustees - Should be held accountable for their decision to hire outside of Intermountain and for taking a wrecking ball to the culture that's been decades in the making - Marc Harrison - He's pretty much the worst ever. Claims to be a leader, but exhibits no traits of any great leaders I've ever known - Low morale - Even people staying with Intermountain are struggling - Outsourcing - If you're non-clinical, the chances your job will be outsourced at some point are quite high
