Dear ASHHRA Colleagues, New Year's greetings! Just as we thought we were nearing the end of the COVID pandemic, omicron appeared. This variant has been difficult to manage, as hospitals are at critical capacity and have limited staffing, making it difficult to provide consistent care. As usual, HR comes to the rescue. We continue to see how we can be effective partners to our leadership teams and a guiding light in assisting our employees as we collaborate. The goal for this year is to raise mental awareness and unity. The goal is not to give up in the face of adversity and to try to adapt to the needs of your team. There is always light at the end of the tunnel in every situation. Visit https://www.naylornetwork.com/ahh-nwl/articles/index-v4.asp?aid=709413&issueID=82095 to view the full article online. |

Healthcare Finance The Great Resignation hit the healthcare sector hard in November, and the numbers are colliding now with a steep rise in the number of COVID-19 hospitalizations. Workers are reportedly leaving for better paying jobs that expose them less to COVID-19, such as positions that allow them to work from home. Demand for workers is allowing for increased mobility in the labor market.

While medicine as a whole — and even elite specialties like dermatology, thoracic surgery, and otolaryngology — has begun to increase the number of people of color in its ranks, orthopedics’ numbers have barely budged. Less than 2% of those practicing in the field are Black, just 2.2% are Hispanic, and 0.4% are Native American. Even Asian American physicians are much scarcer in orthopedics, making up just 6.7% of these specialists.
