and OR leaders faced with managing a
bully have probably wished they, too,
could be someone-or somewhere-
else. Using some recommended approaches
can help.
In Part 2 of this three-part series on
bullying, OR Manager looks at effective
strategies, including how to have that
difficult conversation.
When managers receive a complaint
about bullying, they should interview the
person lodging the complaint, any witnesses,
and the bully. It's important to
use open-ended questions and create a
nonjudgmental atmosphere.
Karen Michael, JD, president of
Karen Michael Consulting in Bon Air,
Virginia, suggests asking the victim and
witnesses to rate departmental morale
and their job on a scale of 1 to 10.
Typically, the targeted employee will respond
with " zero. " If the manager asks
the bully if there is anyone who has
any reason to make allegations against
him or her, the bully usually names the
target. " Listen carefully to what you

Planning can relieve 'growing pains'
of hospital mergers
ealthcare mergers and acquisitions
are becoming as common
as add-on cases in the OR, with
hospitals struggling to stay profitable in
a financially challenging environment.
Between 2008 and 2014, the United
States had nearly 400 hospital mergers
and acquisitions (M&A), with more than
750 hospitals being acquired or merged.
" It's becoming more difficult to operate
smaller health systems in an environment
where costs continue to outH
pace
revenue and the trend is toward
value-based care, " says Jimmy Peterson,
CFA, healthcare and life sciences
mergers and acquisitions leader for Deloitte
Advisory. Peterson, who was a
coauthor of a 2017 Deloitte Center for
Health Solutions and Healthcare Financial
Management Association (HFMA)
report on M&A, adds that the results of
these transactions aren't always what
was expected (sidebar, p 7).
