Overheard during my visit to a hospital yesterday.
Was at the canteen and some staff were at next table KPKB about their KPIs; which is to bring in more revenue. CCB! Can really see they were upset.
Bring in more money for hospitals? This is probably how they can do it.
1. If a patient comes in and require only 2-3 days stay, can they not extend it to 1-2 weeks; since there are available beds?
YES, they can.
By giving you this very simple explanation.
We have to ward him/her immediately as his/her blood pressure is unstable. So we have to monitor for a few days before the operation / delivery/ etc.
DO NOT LAUGH. THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING.
I am sure some cases are genuine. BUT, KPIs for doctors to bring in more REVENUE? Come ON!
