Pros
Pros Having worked for Mercy in the ED I fell in love with the opportunity to be part of a not for profit organization. I was fortunate to identify a just cause of maximizing the revenue cycle in my 20 sq feet so Mercy could take care of the poor and underserved in the communities we provide service. Being with nurses and doctors everyday inspired me to my absolute best each day so they could utilize the talents God gave them to heal people. I believe Ensemble has done more to maximize that cause by taking on the revenue cycle processes for Mercy as well as many other health systems. I am surrounded by the most talented individuals in revenue cycle from across the country. This also means I have a large group of worthy adversaries that I have a deep level of respect and challenge me on a regular basis to fail forward. We don’t always agree on what should be done but at the end of the day we feel safe to push our ideas knowing that the result will add value to the revenue cycle and produce the results that are expected. My leaders have always been open and honest with me. Focusing on work/life balance and allowing me to never miss a minute of my family’s activities. I am blessed to be given the autonomy to run my department and that I can operate at my natural best.
Cons
Ensemble is not perfect. But I truly believe that although there are issues, I wouldn’t be able to go home feeling the same fulfillment anywhere else. The amount of community benefit we are bringing across the nation by maximizing reimbursement for hospital systems is unparallel in our space and our leaders focus on the future both short term and long term is felt daily. Example of the short term is the new building we are moving into over the next few months and the long term is felt by the large number of assessments we are doing across the country.
