PCA - Patient Care Assistant UCSF Health Employee Review

Close-nit community; if looking for direct patient engagement, you get it as a volunteer

Just when obtaining badge, the communication between the badge department and volunteer department could be better. Since times I have gone in, the badge department said they didn't get the form but volunteer department said they sent it.

The people that work at UCSF are some of the most intelligent analysts I've ever worked with in 15 years of Health IT. Most are ex-Epic employees with strong backgrounds in project managament and IT,

UCSF recently decided to reclassify all remote employees as "Felxible" without their input or permission. As a result, employees must now travel to the office WITHOUT expenses paid. This means that flights, hotels, etc. are NOT reimbursed and are paid by the employee. UCSF has not answered to what problem they are trying to solve with this, and refuses to answer how this action aligns with goals such as sustainability (carbon emissions), equity (women and disabled are more impacted by eliminating remote work), working accommodating (UCSF does not have the physical space for all of the Clinical Systems department to be on site. There is no locked storage or accessible workspaces.), safety (there is no shuttle for UCSF to all locations that have been mentioned for work). UCSF limits employee growth, by eliminating actual promotions with "role based work". In other words, you have to do more work without compensation for it. They have also completely reneged on remote management, meaning that most employees are now at a dead end.
