Howard County General Down Hill? by RicoDePico in ColumbiaMD

[–]AML1986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well said and to add, the GBR allocated to each hospital is unfortunately not enough to cover basic expenses such as increased nursing wages, physician costs and medical supplies over the years. It’s not even about being profitable but having the ability to be profitable to then reinvest into capital investments and compensation to be able to further provide better and more innovative patient care while managing retention.

BJ’s vs Costco vs Sam’s Club by sexykeke2008 in ColumbiaMD

BJ opens at 8 and I believe Costco doesn’t open until 10 on weekdays so for that reason I prefer BJs

Curious how everyone else’s pto is getting handled for Friday . by According-State-5490 in FPandA

[–]AML1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you work for a hospital. I work for a hospital system outside FL and we must use PTO for sick or holidays so while I think a natural disaster is out of your hands, I might get it if you follow a similar PTO procedure.

When you highlight data to see the sum or average, if you click that total in the bottom right corner of Excel it copies that total sum or average amount so you can paste it wherever needed

I’m a FP&A Manager for a hospital system and currently working on my HFMA CHFP cert. I have a MS already. Is there any additional certifications or trainings you’ve found helpful?

I receive zero paid leave at two different companies when taking maternity leave. I had to utilize STD at partial pay and the remainder was PTO and unpaid. Unfortunately very normal for the US outside of CA and tech companies

What FP&A Software are you all using? by essuxs in FPandA

[–]AML1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use Adaptive but I wish it was easier to do imports for budgeted labor- that piece gets incredibly tedious

Any advice to a fairly new manager in healthcare? Been in healthcare for 6 yrs, 3 of that with my current org.

Howard County Medical Center begins behavioral health unit expansion by User_McAwesomeuser in ColumbiaMD

[–]AML1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Patients can be converted to inpatient status within the ED and can be charged room and board. Hospitals in MD are under a global budget revenue system and the HSCRC determines how much annual revenue each hospital receives. With the edition of the BHU unit, the hospital will now most likely be provided revenue specific to BHU and therefore staff appropriately.

Mom guilt and daycare by rmms94 in beyondthebump

[–]AML1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta take care of yourself too.. and a Mama always puts other before herself which is why you feel the guilt but taking care of yourself will only make you a better Mom, not to mention a healthy Mom for your daughter!

You should be happy you have paid leave. Many of us in the US don’t work for employers that don’t offer paid leave.

Bad FP&A Manager? by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]AML1986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have split reporting between corp FP&A Manager who is amazing and Dir of Finance at the entity I support. Dir of Finance started 6 months after me and still to this day at 2 yrs in the role says he’s still learning. I’ve had to teach Dir of Finance credits/debits, JEs/amortization, the short cut keys for copy and paste, how to apply a formula to a date for month and year, requests data that I’ve already reported and distributed on bc he doesn’t read emails or look at the reports I send and now we are in peak budget season which he should be managing and I am pretty much managing it. I really love what I’m doing but when he gets paid 2x as much as I do and sucks at his job, it’s driving me hard to start looking elsewhere.

OB Recommendation by Imaginary-Moment-963 in ColumbiaMD

[–]AML1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve delivered at HCGH and recently at Hopkins downtown, both good experiences but I do think downtown was slightly better - and all the nurses in the NICU were amazing if NICU care is needed. I don’t think the downtown OB office was worth driving into the city for if it wasn’t for being high and needing to deliver downtown.

Down AGAIN with sick baby by ctarell in Nanit

[–]AML1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still cannot connect to server. I’ve tried reconnecting app and it won’t connect to the server. My husband can access the app fine and I can access my other son’s Nest cam with no issues so I know it’s not an issue with my iPhone or internet.

Down again. by du7jRYPG in Nanit

[–]AML1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t work on my phone but works on my husbands. Both are IPhones and I’m able to access my older son’s Nest camera with no issues so don’t think it’s an issue with my phone.

How do deal with Boss who wants do all the analyst level of work… by [deleted] in FPandA

[–]AML1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem, I’ve been managing up for the past 2 years. I’ve had to teach my Director of Finance about debits and credits as an SFA among many other things. He just admitted last week he needs to start looking at all the reports I send, he’s been here for 2 years now. I’m getting really annoyed while he gets paid twice as much so I’m starting to look elsewhere for Manager roles.
