[MCOH-EH] MCOH-EH Employee Health Organizational Structure

[Denece O Kesler]

I run two employee health programs as the hospital system is mostly independent from the campus side of the University. On the University campus side, we have a direct report to the EVP of Finance which is a really good place to be.  On the University Hospital side, we report to an executive director of ambulatory clinics--a nurse (but with executive physician leadership input)-- in Administration. This works pretty well.

Dear List Serv Members:

It is not unusual in industrial settings for occupational health to report up through Risk or Human Resources. I have the idea occupational health (Employee Health) in healthcare frequently reports to Human Resources. Does anyone report through a clinical or nursing department?

Thanks in advance.
