A common occurrence with a larger health care network (SSM St. Louis) acquiring a smaller health care network (Dean Health Wisconsin) is the restructuring of staff. The new owners will reduce some positions, combine some positions, and replace some positions with a new face. This is a management strategy designed to improve the ability of the system to continue to effectively serve the surrounding population.
This means many of the rural health clinics will experience slight changes in the people conducting the day to day operations. The function of the day to day operations will change slightly as well. Simply who does certain things and how certain things are being done can change.
This can make the familiar health care delivery settings appear a bit different to the user population. This can be a change for the senior accustomed to going to the exact same staff person for service. The entire user population of Dean Health Wisconsin is transitioning to the way SSM St. Louis will want care delivery to occur. The key is patience throughout the change. Everyone can benefit from a little extra support during transitions.
