Hey everyone,
I am applying to an inpatient job at a small community hospital in a rural area. One of the areas that they are struggling with currently is keeping their beds full. They don't have a physiatrist currently, the CMO is acting as the medical director. The CEO asked me how I would work to increase the census. I wasn't really sure how to answer that question. They have a max capacity of 17, currently averaging around 8 -10. Has anyone else built up their census, if so how did you do it?
I'm excited about the job as it is a .5 inpatient and .5 outpatient job, I will hopefully be working the inpatient floor in the morning and doing MSK with injections, TENEX, PRP and EMGs in the afternoons.
