There have been many challenges that we have faced with supply chain issues and staffing issues over the last several years. We started with 6 sites that processed, embedded, cut and H/E stained and have consolidated that down to 3 sites. There have been many issues that have arisen; time delays, change in leadership, change to job duties, the loss of autonomy due to standardization, and communication challenges. Cultivating cohesion across long distances and with multiple sites has been an important factor in the consolidation process. This will be an overview of how we have handled this at Sentara Healthcare and some guidance will be given on how to focus on the employees who are impacted the most during these changes.
