OSF has apparently been a rotting corporate structure for some time. Rot that runs so deeply cannot possibly be the work of 2 nor will eliminating just those 2 solve the systemic problems that permeate more space than just the ER. <br /><br />With respect to the Sisters being kept in the dark, that has been their choosing. There are no brownie points for that failed mission. Such a rotten core could have been easily averted if they were focused less on the recitation of the Lord's Prayer with the patient and more on assessing the quality of care being provided that individual under their roof as they make those daily rounds. The Sisters sold out long ago. They allowed their brand name to stay on a defective product.<br /><br />As I view the national Catholics Come Home TV ad campaign and I think about how my experience with OSF and their practitioners changed me, I think why should they. In Peoria they can look across the bridge and see the Methodists doing it better. <br /><br />Does that make me question my Faith? It should be incentive enough to make all Catholics question what type of brand you are funding when you don't stand up or speak out either as a patient or provider. If the Sisters are silent partners, that sets the tone for their business. The Sisters do not attend grievance committee meetings? How is that? They should be leading them and have a strong, weighted opinion in how these grievances are managed and resolved. <br /><br />Hanging a cross in every patient room or affiliated doctor's office doesn't bring more Faith or better practice. Oversight and accountability do. Paying close attention to the business practices of those individuals you place in charge to represent your brand or mission is a measure of how sincere you are about your Faith and your mission. What would Jesus do if he was CEO? I think there would be more than 2 pink slips delivered in 2012, no parachutes and a swift corporate attitude adjustment. In fact, the Sisters might just be given pink slips for giving up control and hiding in the closet as this corporate giant morphed. Magnet status cannot be possible in this institution as it stands. It is mere label on a brand that I wouldn't buy if I were living in Peoria.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706938836429821885.post-82804929298717610522011-12-09T09:09:49.968-08:002011-12-09T09:09:49.968-08:00I hope you're right...I hope you're right...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
