I work as the Health Services Director for a 1070 bed county jail. All of the medical staff are full-time sheriff's office employees (we are all sworn deputy sheriff's). I have held this position for over 9 years now. Recently, the county commission has decided to look at ways to cut their ever increasing expenses and one of the things they are looking at are the medical expenses for prisoners.
They have invited PHS and CMS to come in and look at our facility and give them a proposal. I know there is no way they can provide what we currently do for the amount of money we do it for but that's another story:o
What I'm looking for is what have your experiences been if any working with this company. I know I won't have a job if either company is selected since I am management now, but I have some really good nurses that have worked with me for a long time that I sure would like to know would be treated fairly. Any input would be appreciated.
