Most hospital systems are going to vastly reduce the number of middle managers and Chiefs of Fluff, Chiefs of Experience, Chiefs of Roses and Lollipops, etc. Additionally, the systems are going to demand some performance and accountability. As docs and nurses become more frustrated, systems will be forced to negotiate and importantly, listen, to those providing bedside care. Anyone at the bedside is safe for now, but there is so much bloat in our system with administrative pigs at the trough sucking billions out of the system with no value add. Can ANY non-profit hospital CEO justify a multiple 7 figure salary? I don't think so. CEO pay is tied to volume of patient services and revenue...not quality outcomes, physician and nurse retention, etc. The chickens are coming home to roost.
