HCA Healthcare reviews

Staff level employees and dept managers have no power to influence operations. The for profit model places more emphasis on wooing potential customers with pricey foyers and eye candy, and less on patient care by skilled and talented clinicians. Understaffing is a daily issue, as strict adherence to a patient-to-staff productivity model, does not allow fluctuation in patient census and acuity to influence staffing levels. Usually we run short, and it's my guess that we can't get agency/travellers to come in when we need, because we'll still be short and there is little to no support for someone unfamiliar to the hospital. Oh, and you'll be struggling with the antiquated software more than doing patient care.

All doctors that work for HCA are ruled by poorly educated administrators who enjoy "kicking doctors butt". You can feel almost class hatred from these people who suddenly have power over your career. Some of them have MBA, many just BA. Many CEOs of hospitals are nurses or massage therapists who did MBA, and suddenly can hire and fire physicians who are on their mercy.
