Bonuses for Keeping Patients in Treatment-Ethics Bombshell

(1/6) > >>

Troll Control:
From a staff member:

"The attrition rate of counselors and students was so bad that Len instituted a bonus system based on how many students you retained in your PG. If you had a 100% retention rate you would get a bonus of 25% of your salary. (If) it went down to 50% retention that equaled something like at 7% bonus... Obviously this is a big ethical problem."

So, counselors were given financial incentives to keep their kids enrolled by any means necessary.

I have a strong suspicion that this is going to be a very big deal in the lawsuit.

Using a conflict of interest to increase the bottom line.  What in hell were these people thinking?  This is going to bite you, big time.  This is such a clear violation of ethics and patient rights that I'm having a difficult time putting it into words.

Several staff members will testify to this fact - current and former.

It appears that Len passed out a spreadsheet delineating the "bonus structure" based on retention.  I'm awaiting delivery of a copy.

Any staff have a copy to post in the meantime?

What was that?    Did you guys hear that sound?

I think I heard Buchi whimper a little...maybe even a sob.

Don't worry Buch, I'm sure Spoonie will get you through this latest "attack by a few disgruntled parents"

Of course if Spoonie's not available I'm sure Chuck might be.
