Interview with a Manager
Interview with a Human Resource Manager
Being a healthcare human resource manager is a lot harder than what some people might think. Some people become healthcare HR managers because they think that by having the experience of any management position it could be the same, but even though the main idea of managing people is the same, in the case of a HR of a healthcare facility many state and national regulations have to be followed in order to be in compliance with the patient care and safety everyone deserves; such as the Health Insurance Portability Act (HIPAA). I decided to interview Eric D. Artis Director of H.R. department at the Medical Center of Aurora because I wanted to know what it would be like to work for a hospital. In the next few paragraphs I will explain briefly what experience and challenges Eric faces there.
Since a young age Eric developed his communication skills broadly; he was the student president for many years because he loved the interactions with students as well as with the teachers and parents. In 1983 he joined the air force, and while enrolled he decided to major in Business Administration which help him achieved the position of Commissioned Officer in which he was in charge of the integration of the facility-wide human resources operations, policies, processes and practices in order to transition to a more efficient and collaborative operation, he was also in charge of implementing all the regulations pertaining to civilian grievances and sexual harassment investigations. After loving the experience of been involved in human resources, he decided to go back to school and continue his education. He then studied in the Colorado State University in where he mastered his Master Education Human Resources and Organization.
It took him over ten years of H.R. experience in order for him to feel confident of wanting to work for a healthcare facility. His first job in the healthcare world was back in 2004 with Presbyterian/St. Luke’s
