[BULK] Re: Hospital Management Structure

January 27, 2012

We have two leads (sp and pt) and a supervisor OT. These all report up to

myself. I manage IP and OP therapy services as well as our fitness center. We

use the leads so that each discipline is represented and has some administrative

time for clinical operations.

Our department is currently going through leadership restructuring. This week we

were informed that our Inpatient Therapy Manager position is being eliminated.

My current role will be changing from Outpatient Therapy Manger to the manager

of all therapies. As a result of this change, I will have approximately 98

reports in 6 different clinical sites including: Acute Care, Inpatient Rehab

Facility (the inpatient rehab facility does have a nurse manager), three

separate outpatient satellite clinics (including a pediatric neurodevelopmental

clinic) and an Adult Day Health clinic. So literally spanning the entire

continuum of care as well as spanning pediatrics to geriatrics. My Director is

responible for oversight of the Rehabilitation Department, Departmetnt of

Behavioral Health and the Social Work department at our facility. His background

is in behavioral health.

We are currently looking a leadership restructure within the therapy area to

support me in this new role. My questions for the group are:

For those of you working in hosptial based therapy services, are there any of

you that have a similar scope of respnsibility in a manager role? I.e. is this

trend of manager/director scope occuring in other areas?

And if so, what supporting positions have you developed to enable the effective

management of day to day operations so that energies towards program

development, strategic planning/future planning etc. can still be accomplished.

Thanks for your thoughts and input.
