| Doctors no longer bound by noncompetes under FTC’s proposed ban
|
|
| The Story |
|
| Recently, the FTC proposed a new rule which would ban noncompete clauses in physicians’ employment contracts. The change would lift the ban that currently prevents physicians from practicing for competitors within a certain geographical area or period of time. Nearly half of all physicians are bound by such contracts, so the ban could lead to drastic shifts in the healthcare sector. |
| |
| What You Should Know |
|
| According to the FTC, banning noncompete clauses could be an important step towards reducing healthcare costs while also raising physician earnings. Still, there are questions as to how the new rule would be enforced. For example, non-solicitation clauses would still be lawful under the new rule, and would prevent physicians from soliciting colleagues or former patients to join them in their new practice. Additionally, healthcare attorneys are questioning whether the ban would apply to nonprofit healthcare organizations, as the FTC doesn’t have jurisdiction over nonprofits.

| What You Should Know About Salary Transparency Legislation
|
|
| The Story |
|
| Within recent years, pay equity has become an important area of focus in employment law. Several cities and states have passed legislation requiring disclosure of pay scales, and it’s likely that more will follow suit as the fight for fair pay continues. Even if your healthcare organization isn’t located in a state with pay transparency laws, familiarizing yourself with the changes taking place elsewhere could help you prepare for future shifts in your region.
|
| |
| What You Should Know |
|
| So far, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Maryland, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Washington have adopted legal requirements for providing pay ranges to candidates. Posting salary ranges can help to cultivate a sense of transparency from the very first interaction you have with your candidates. If you aren’t legally obligated to provide pay ranges in your job postings, it may still be worthwhile to consider doing so to keep in line with the practices of other healthcare organizations.

| What will save rural healthcare? |
|
| The Story |
|
| In a recent article, more than 30 healthcare executives shared their ideas for saving rural healthcare. Strategies included everything from incentivizing employment in rural hospitals for recent medical school graduates to partnering with urban hospitals. Some executives also emphasized the importance of leveraging technology to develop creative solutions to roadblocks and increasing access to telehealth. |
| |
| What You Should Know |
|
| Rural healthcare facilities and hospitals are feeling the pinch of industry-wide challenges such as workforce shortages and rising costs. Immediate action must be taken to prevent closures, but it’s not too late to act. While the issues affecting rural healthcare are complex, creative solutions like finding new ways to use technology and collaboration with other healthcare networks could save those at risk.

Genius and Frustration
Are you working in joy or exhaustion? Our administrative team recently participated in a professional development workshop, provided by HR Reliance, on the concepts from The 6 Types of Working Genius, by Patrick Lencioni. Our brilliance was revealed (I only partially jest).
We uncovered our working geniuses (the areas that give us joy) and our frustrations (the areas that exhaust us) according to the Working Genius assessment. When we plotted our individual results as a team, gaps, strengths, and possibilities emerged. We were given a framework/common language for starting discussions about how and why we do what we do, what the company needs, and how to make some adjustments.
Have you spent time looking at why you do what you do in your work? Satisfaction in work can be linked to an alignment between our intrinsic gifts/way of being and our daily activity/doing. If you have primarily worked based on what came to you, were told you should do, or even what gave you the most money or a certain title - basically, what was culturally required - you may not be working in your genius and might be missing out on joy.
The Working Genius model can apply to all parts of life. I am not recommending an upheaval of your whole world. Our way of being and doing is out of necessity at times. Rather, I am recommending taking time to look at what you do, who you are, and how that shapes your life experience. Give yourself the possibility of more joy.
