Results of the Performance Incentive Plan (PIP) through the fiscal year 2015 third quarter, which ended June 30, show that while there has been progress in a few areas, the struggle to meet goals continues in other categories. If PIP were paid today, eligible employees would receive a payout of up to 1.77 percent of salary.

PIP results are measured in four hospital-wide areas of performance: patient safety and quality, patient experience, employee engagement and financial performance. Patient safety and quality includes four measures: hand hygiene, catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) cases, RL Solutions adverse event reporting and readmissions.

In November, Yale New Haven Health System will pilot the ShiftSelect Open Shift Management system for nurses on selected units at Bridgeport, Greenwich and Yale New Haven hospitals.

ShiftSelect is a cloud-based application that will allow an employee to review his or her core schedule and request extra shifts online. Phase I of the program will include nursing pools and heart and vascular, intensive care, medicine and some surgical units and the Emergency Department at YNHH’s Saint Raphael Campus. Details about staff enrollment will be provided by the managers of units participating in the pilot program in early fall.
