SUMMARY:
Natividad Medical Center (NMC) recommends the creation of a supervisory level position in order to provide oversight to staff and assistance to the Department Director in complying with regulatory requirements in the hospital’s Respiratory Therapy Services Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Respiratory Therapy Department at Natividad Medical Center (NMC) is responsible for providing respiratory therapy services and education to patients.
There is currently a need for a supervisory level position in the department to assist with shift supervision, complying with regulatory requirements, and also to provide the department with supervisory oversight in the absence of the department director. The NMC Human Resources Administrator requested a classification study to determine the appropriate title, duties and level of position needed to satisfy the department needs within the existing County structure. The final recommendation of the classification study was the creation of a Supervising Cardiopulmonary Technician classification with a proposed salary string that is 10% above that of Senior Cardiopulmonary Technician.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The class study and salary recommendation was reviewed and approved by the Monterey County Human Resources Department.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The creation of this classification will improve operational performance in the hospital’s Respiratory Therapy Department, which equates to higher efficiency and quality of patient care delivery.
