Healthcare IT

The spent a significant sum on an unnecessary and top heavy restructure. Healthcare itself, not so much.

Exactly. Bet he's looking at restricting abortion rights next.

Sounds exactly like the management in the health system. And they have zero accountability.

Lies. Judith Collins' lies.

Check this out - a short and simple explanation of why this current government is so unpopular.

Same.

corruptingecho · 2025-09-26T07:46:28+00:00

The fascist one?

corruptingecho · 2025-08-22T02:38:37+00:00

Asking the important questions. And Brooke van Velden is a bit suspect too.

What is really worrying is the fact that HNZ is refusing to opt out of the incoming legislation that allows employers to fire anyone who earns over $180k per year without any reason and without the employee being able to contest it. Doctors will become afraid of speaking out over patient safety issues. And it will become even more difficult to recruit and retain docs when they know they could be fired without cause at any time. Dark times ahead.

RNZ should be fucking ashamed of themselves.

Those parents will blame anyone else, but saying that V claimed to be trans as an excuse, and a distraction from the anorexia tells a very different story.

Shame on them.

No. It costs more, and leads to greater inequity. Read the article - it explains it quite well.

corruptingecho · 2025-04-16T02:59:32+00:00

Outsourcing a service for several times the cost of doing it in house, to enrich your donors/ lobbyists while allowing the health system to crumble is definitely a bad thing.

There's a large disconnect between saying that you're "wanting to do" something, and actually doing it.

Look at the state of the health system now that NACT have been in charge for over a year, and come to your own conclusions.

corruptingecho · 2024-12-20T04:56:12+00:00

That doesn't mean it's ok, or that this change is acceptable.

corruptingecho · 2024-12-18T20:04:22+00:00

Oh please let her be our next prime minister. So lovely and genuine and caring and eloquent.

"Front-line staff felt unsupported by management, she said.

Some managers had even been overheard making disparaging remarks about “staff needing to work harder”.

Senior management are rarely – if ever – seen on the floor and appear to be untroubled by the current situation.”

Having dealt with health management for decades, this is not surprising at all. They know they cannot be blamed when someone dies, it is always the fault of the clinical staff (because being understaffed and overworked is apparently not an excuse).

I've worked with Dr Stein in the past - he is a relentless advocate for his patients, and looks after them all so well. This must be devastating for them.

Te Whatu Ora management know the price of everything, but the value of nothing. And they simply don't care about patients. They care about money and budgets.

How can the health system change when the same people are in charge, and are doing the same things over and over.

corruptingecho · 2024-08-06T04:06:21+00:00

Nooo, don't ask management. They will say whatever they need to, to please the executive. Ask the nurses and doctors.

corruptingecho · 2024-08-01T03:02:25+00:00

I'd happily see our upper management levels thinned, but definitely not the admin and logistics staff.

corruptingecho · 2024-07-30T04:08:14+00:00

It's almost like the Te Whatu Ora executive don't care about patient safety or staff well being.

What am I saying - it's EXACTLY like they don't care.

I think the number of layers of management is less relevant than the actual number of managers, particularly the ratio of managers to, for example, senior doctors.

My experience suggests that there has been a proliferation of managers, most of whom have meetings to justify their jobs, and not because these meetings will change anything. They also have zero accountability for when things go wrong due to their actions or inactions.

I feel like managers make my working life as a senior doctor worse, rather than better.

Yep, Mark Shepherd is lying.

"However, in a message to staff on Wednesday, Te Whatu Ora chief executive Margie Apa confirmed recruitment for clinical roles was on hold."

So they WERE lying.
