A few weeks ago, I wrote about our "ACE" Plan. Periodically, I will try to keep everyone informed about the progress we are making as well as continue to solicit your ideas and thoughts about how we can continue to improve. Since first writing about the ACE plan, I have multiple people come up to me and ask if I really think that working with these consultants and this plan will be helpful to the hospital (the latest instance being just last night). My very emphatic answer to this is YES. I absolutely believe that this plan will take the organization where it needs to be in terms of improved stability and viability, not just financially, but from a quality and strategic perspective as well. The actions we are taking are things that most of us already know needed to be done, but we have lacked either the time or expertise to make them happen. With the help of the consultants that are here with us, over the course of the next year, we will likely achieve about 5 years worth of improvements as a result of the diligent focus we have around the ACE Plan.
In efforts to help keep everyone informed about our progress with the ACE Plan, Janice James, our Transitional System CEO has created a new communication tool and I wanted to share an excerpt from her recent memo with everyone...
On progress: "As of mid-November, 133 dollar saving initiatives have already been identified. Of those, 25 have been completed for a total savings of $3,260,419. In addition, we have identified more one-time savings opportunities, bringing us to seven, for a total savings of $2.5 million."
More of Janice's memo can be found here and as always, I welcome hearing about your thoughts and suggestions!

Yes does this mean we will be getting a raise. Some of us make $11.00 or less and we look forward to what little raise we get. The cna's don't make what the other hospitals make,tthey make$3.oo more an hour. I love working here and my co-workers, but we also have to make a living since no raise,no overtime. please help.
