WESTCHESTER, Ill., Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent MedHQ poll of surgical facility leaders revealed employee disciplinary issues to be the biggest human resources concern by a more than two to one margin. In response to uncovering the prevalence of this challenge, MedHQ has developed a whitepaper to help center leadership recognize and minimize employee risk.

"Employee issues such as poor attitudes, open disputes, and uninspired performance cause a decline in morale, create a hostile work environment, and put the facility at risk for lawsuits or other financial losses," says Tom Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of MedHQ. "My hope is that surgical facility leaders will read the case studies in this paper and realize they have the ability to take control of these issues."

The white paper is titled "Eliminating the Drama & Risk Exposure Caused by Under-Performing Employees". It discusses the following topics:

Top 5 Employee Disciplinary Concerns
Risk Exposure of Negative Employee Issues
Case Studies on Managing Common Disciplinary Issues

"Human capital is the largest investment for surgical facilities and physician practices," adds Jacobs. "It also represents the most significant opportunity for increasing the provider's performance and patient satisfaction, which is especially important for financial survival in today's healthcare environment."

About MedHQ
MedHQ is the only HR, Finance and IT business services company that specializes in the unique needs of surgical facilities and physician practices. As an ASC administrator himself, founder and CEO Tom Jacobs was skeptical of service providers who tried to sell him business best practices even though they didn't possess a deep understanding of the provider market. Like many administrators, he chose to do it all himself rather than make a decision that would negatively impact the service provided at his ASC. In 2001, Tom founded MedHQ to help ASCs improve revenue, lower costs, and take time-consuming tasks off the plates of administrators so they can focus on running the surgical center.
