The Challenge


Vickie Lemmon, RN, MSN Director of Clinical Strategies, Operations WellPoint, Inc., Ventura, CA

Healthcare managers today are faced with numerous and complex issues that pertain to providing quality services for patients within a resource-scarce environment. Stress levels among staff can escalate when problems are not resolved, leading to a decrease in morale, productivity, and quality service.

This was the situation I encountered in my previous job as an administrator for California Children Services (CCS). When I began my tenure as the new CCS administrator, staff expressed frustration and dissatisfaction with staffing, workload, and team communications. This was evidenced by high staff turnover, lack of teamwork, customer complaints, unmet deadlines for referral and enrollment cycle times, and poor documentation. 

The team was in crisis, characterized by infighting, blaming, lack of respectful communication, and lack of commitment to program goals and objectives. Because I had not worked as a case manager in this program, it was hard for me to determine how to address the problems the staff presented to me. I wanted to be fair but thought that I did not have enough information to make immediate changes.

My challenge was to lead this team to greater compliance with state-mandated performance measures.
