Solutions

• Parking

Community General Has gone into contract for purchase of a

dilapidated building adjacent to Bethany Medical. The building will

be destroyed and removed in order to construct parking lot that will

accommodate all Community general staff and overflow of patients

from Community General’s community.

This parking Lot will be gifted to Bethany Medical Center after

Community General Vacates to their New facility in four years.

Work & Patient Areas

The Emergency room currently has an ascendant corridor that has been blocked off. This will be

revamped in order to provide for 15 more bays for patients and two more rooms for physicians and

staff personnel. The waiting room is being redesigned to provide for fifty more chairs.

All Nursing Areas will add two more bays

The old Mental Health Unit will be opened to accommodate inpatient overflow.

All specialty units will have three waiting areas, one of which will be redone into patient bay that will

hold five beds.

Work Share DutiesSchedule & Duties Addressed

• Bethany MC

Clinical Nurse Managers assign

Duties to all CGH support unit staff

& nurses.

CGH supervisors will report to BMC

Unit Clinical Nurse Mangers to

coordinate staff supervision of their

staff and joint duties.

Per-diem staff will be restricted in

an effort to accommodate CGH

staff.

• Community GH

Supervisors provide master list to

BMC Clinical Nurse Managers.

CGH Staff up for retirement in next

5 years have been given buyout by

CGH.

Administrators will continue to

oversee their staff.

All employees will sign a flextime

waiver-based on need.

Community General’s Transition to Bethany will balance out cost. More

patients will produce more revenue to cover payroll. Change provides for a

speculative loss of 100 patients daily and early retirement buyout of

CGH employees.
